Saxons Hill 'Flo Trail' , Essex 5-1-08

Thursday started off rainy and cold, like 30's cold but then miraculously (usually its the other way around) it warmed up, cleared up and we decided to ditch work a couple hours early for a sweeeeeet ride on the excellent Flo trails over in essex. They have done a ton of work in the last year and its just basically an hour and half of blissfull winding trail that definately made me forget for a moment the hell at work haha.

Check out Jay riding the new bridge that spans area that used to be long contantly muddy section.

Jackie cruising down.

The whole flo, new 'mo flo and majority of the trails are non technical, smooth riding for the most part, there are a few minor techincal sections. The speed and the fluidy of the turns though keeps us comming back here over and over it really is so fun.

Here is a video of me droppin down a small section that is not really bad at all but some of my group (kaffff) still too chicken to try. lol

Jay 'owe my ass still hurts' from breaking that last fall on a big rock. oh the fun trials of getting used to new clipless pedals. Not that I can talk, since my crashes and severity of them pretty much outnumber everyone I ride with combined, haha. Hey no pain no gain right? Argghhhh

Here are a few more pictures of the ride:

Ahhh there really is nothing like laying back and drinking that nice cold beer after a ride.
