Bristol Bike Fest 2010

Dan finishing his final lap
My dear other half has a passion... (no not me!) But for his mountain bike.  He loves it, dreams of it and lives it, when he can. 

Each year our local mountain bike track, the Timberland Trail in Ashton Court Estate, holds a mountain bike festival over 2 days.  So every year, Dan has taken us up to watch, with a dream to one day take part.

Today, that dream happened!

Look at his face!

Dan and his two friends Will & James, took part in the 6 hour enduro race, doing 3x3 laps of the course, they weren't doing it to win, but to take part.

The boys loved it watching their Dad ride off at top speed down the trail, hang out with their best friends, having a picnic, and then their Daddy ride back through half an hour later to much cheering.

We have no idea where they came on the time or winners board, but who cares!  A great day out.

Charlie was particularly proud to have the race number on his own bike at end of the race..a future festival racer?


Only problem now is, Dan will want a new bike!
