Ambergate 18th October

So Ambergate is somewhere I have only ever visited once before, back in May with Jeff . Ambergate is often compared to Wharncliffe, but I feel it offers something slightly different. The hill for one is nowhere near as steep or as big as Wharncliffe so the tracks offer a generally less intimidating proposition.

I lost count of just how many riders there were out but at there were at least 15 people i would say, a couple of people i had met before such as the dog man, and Eamon and many new people. Sorry i cant remember many of your names. Anyway this was the first time out with my new Nikon D40 Camera, i bit of a steep learning curve but i am please with quite a few of the shots so something to build on. The Camera itself if awesome.

Video: Bamford Pump Track 10-10-2009

[09'10'10 Bamford Pump Track Video]

Here’s the video from last month at the Pump Track, with Irwin, Shane, Jeff, Jack, Ed, Alex & Jonerz. It was billed as the last opportunity to ride the Pump Track in the dry and within a week or two this was proved correct. With the new berm, bowl jump line thing ready for some testing. Which adds a new feature to the track, anyway enjoy the video.
