Laggan Wolf Trax

Rather that have a long lie we were up early to drive 45 mins back towards the A9 into the village of Laggan where the cross country tracks presented a 12 km head clearer from the stella consumed on Friday night. After a lung busting cycle up the hill (as Paul refused to pay two quid for the uplift bus) the track presented a great opportunity to try out my new Specialised Rockhopper dripping in Sram components www.sram.com

Five minutes later disaster strikes as my chain snaps. Many thanks to the kind owner of Cycle Life in York who mended me chain in record time. As he tried to sell me a new Shimano chain I pointed out that my wee brother designed for Sram. Anyways I must have given out the vibes of a helpless blond female who had a flat tire at the side of the motorway and waited for a prince to rescue her. Chain fixed it was back to business and what a rocking ride it turned out to be.
