BenReaper Posted January 31, 2016 Share Went out early this morning with a mate and did 40km ride to Nuy Cellars new Restaurant called "Nuy on the hill".Met up with my wife there and she joined us for a loop of the new 30km Nuy mtb route.My wife and my mate both had theire first encounters with wooden crossover bridges today.Had quite a laugh at how they negotiated them,but by the third one they got the hang of it.

Uni Posted January 31, 2016 Share i dislike those bridges with a passion, especially when having to access at an angle . Have landed in a sorry bundle amongst barbed wire so many times. BenReaper and Andrew_Smith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can imagine how bad it might end coming of wrong on one of these.[emoji20] The last bridge almost caught me out as I entered with speed and did not realise the exit was at an angle.....close shave.Was really proud of my wife as she mastered them really quickly to my surprize.

Uni Posted January 31, 2016 Share I was told this is an old dynamite storage bunker? yup. Dynamite manufacture from late 1800s in those parts. There's even a museum close but.

RocknRolla Posted February 1, 2016 Share when you (in my case - involuntarily) proceed forward with only your front wheel touching the ground. Like this http://ride.io/wp-content/uploads/stories/Video/Santa/santa-stoppie.jpgI used Santa in this image, because it's as close to a clown I could find, and I probably look more like the clown, and nothing like the santa in the picture doing it.
