I'd dropped Dani and the boys off at Manchester airport at about 4am and had arranged to meet Steve for an early ride in a couple of slate quarries in Lancashire.
Lot of run again - we rode through to Cragg Quarry first, across non-technical, but pleasant moorland. There was no particular trail in Cragg Quarry, but lots of options, from the simple, to the suicidal. I opted for the simple end a bit more that Steve, but even he seemed quite intimidated by much of the options.
Lee Quarry had more specific, but quite short trails, all of which were good fun and provided the opportunity to try stuff again if it felt a bit too much at first.
I started to really long for a dual suspension bike in the hope that it might help with some of the technical ascents.
Good breakfast in a local cafe - with a really cleverly designed single teapot. Still looking to buy one of those if ever I see one....
