Cwmcarn Moose Mojo


Sunday was a daytrip to Wales with Moosecycles on Moose Mojo weekend at Cwmcarn .




This was to be a bit of practise going downhill for the Megavalanche this coming weekend.


Cwmcarn has two mountain bike trails:


The Twrch - a cross country trail which has some scary bits. Twrch is welsh for wild boar, apparently with a comb and scissors in it's hair! Here in wiki Twrch Trwyth


Y Mynydd Mojo - Mynydd is welsh for mountain and Mojo is something to do with Jim Morrison :-) It's almost 2km of scary fun.
The steep descents, berms and rocky stuff was fine, it's the table tops and kickers that gave me some trouble.
There were a few crashes, notably Barrie and Frank. I managed to stay on the bike but wasn't as daring as the others :-)
I'm off to get a full face helmet.

LCO is going to post whilst we're away, I'll try to send a pic and text daily.
