Fools bash - Haldon

It's April Fools day today, and also the Fools bash at Haldon Forest Just outside Exeter. An organized day of mountain biking demos and events. Loads of the local Bike shops turned up with stalls selling off kit cheaply, and offering demos of all the latest bikes. Plus Trials biking demos, and people riding the big demo shore that was set-up by Oke freeriders.
We had a quick look round, chatted to a few people, sat on a few bikes, checked out was going on and spent our hard earned cash!
Then after that we hit the trails. Lots of the trails at Haldon had been badly damaged by bad weather over the winter, with water washing away some parts of the trail, and trees falling over and damaging other parts. But with lots of hard work, much of the trails have been rebuilt and are even better than they were.
We ripped it up, check out the action!

Big Props to Ewart, for taking all the pictures, and having to wander around and watch us biking and enjoying ourselves, while he waits for his thumb to get better. Cheers chap!
