Puddletown woods

Tom KP and myself managed to sneak over to Puddletown woods in Dorset last week for some Mountain biking fun. Despite being very wet there are alot of trails at Puddletown that drain well, meaning that we were able to enjoy a good varied mix of riding without ending up head to toe in clag! We rode most of our favourite trails, only having to avoid 'creepy hollow' which still manages to be wet weeks after any rain!

The only downside to the day out was just as we were riding down the last trail back to the van. About 400m from the van Toms bike let out a clunk as he rode through a bomb hole. The main pivot bolt on his rear suspension had sheared off at both ends. Bummer.
