Rain again

 Next Clyne Riders meeting is at 6pm on 4th July at the Civic Centre. Anyone who rides in Clyne is welcome to come. Has been lots going on recently so if you want to know what's happening then come along.

Now to rant about the weather, it's been horrific this month, 7 inches of rain in June the wettest in Wales since 1910! Forecast is for some more rain as well, lovely.

Been busy

Test run soon!

Gorge

Want to ride those berms!

Council update

Didn't think we had much hope after reading the planning report but since then we've had a couple more meetings with the council and things are starting to look more positive. The council seem to really want to find a solution now and have started to realise that cycling in Clyne will continue whether its is managed or not and that it will be better for everyone if the trails and dirt jumps are official.

Don't want to get too excited, because its not going to be quick but I'm hopeful that we'll get there in the end. Want to say thanks to AM Julie James for continuing to support us, Julies really made a difference and things have started to progress alot more quickly since she got invloved.

Next meeting in a few weeks.

Summer

The sun finally came out so I headed up the woods to check on stuff yesterday. Bit worried of what I'd find as I kind of neglected the trails a bit recently and the weathers been horrific. Anyway got there had a look around and was pretty stoked everything is ok, loads of tarps blown off but only one corner of one landing collapsed!

Stuff has mossed up amazing as well, and the woods is looking sweet, leaves are out and bluebells have gone crazy. It's sad to see the place like this, so quiet up there, everyone should be up there now having fun and bbqs and doing trains, I haven't done a train round the 270 in ages, those were good times!

I haven't got any news yet, but I've seen a planning report from the council and it seems like bad news but I really don't have a clue what's going to happen at the moment. I get the feeling we will get a decision very soon on whether the trails can stay or maybe they have to go.

Haven't given up hope yet, but if they do go I reckon I've got time for one more spot, getting too old! Need the youngsters to take over soon, there loads who are stoked on building and riding but there's no where for them to go, we could be an epic scene but it's dying right now.

Right I'm off to Canada for two weeks yeee! Hope Moos will be there when I get back!!

More rain please haha

Tasty weather recently, there's no more news on the trails, but they wouldn't be ridable anyway!

Since Swansea has no skatepark, this week I have been mostly riding pump tracks and bmx tracks. Also been spending some time on a little backyard project I've been working on.

Prefer to be riding/digging trails but for now this will have to do!

Get a BMX?

Milan from Get a BMX contacted me the other day about his website and their spot guide, it's a good idea for sure. I know Build the Woods and some other sites have a similar thing going but I really like this one as there's a sweet write up about each spot.

Check out our page here, looks good!
