Returning To One Of My Local Riding Spots After 11 Years : Preston Group ride

This ride was planned less than a day in advance, I rang up Tartybikes to order some spokes (wheel build videos incoming) and as I was talking to Ben he mentioned a group of riders that ride the local town every Tuesday (Tuesday Night Trials on Instagram). Being a little bored of Glasgow I'm keen on travelling to different places and ride with more people so I was up for the idea. The only issue was the 6 hour round drive just for a couple of hours of riding. I decided it was worth it so the next day I set off at 2pm to meet everyone after work at 5pm, this gave us around 3 hours until it gets dark, by the time everyone had arrived (and I fixed a rogue puncture I got whilst waiting) it was 5:30 so we got straight into the riding. Peston docks was a semi-regular riding spot for me back when I worked at Tartybikes and the last time I rode here was 11 years ago on my brakeless prototype Hex (   • Ali C - Inspired Bicycles - Brakeless Spri...  ), the one move I wanted to get was a hook up the big wall, it stands as one of the biggest hooks I've ever done and really wanted it so I felt like I've kept the same level of riding and not regressed...it took a while but I'm stoked I got it (even if it did take up most of my time!). After doing this hook I got another puncture from the tube poking out of the tear, by the time I got it fixed (thanks for the help guys!) it was too dark for me to ride. HUGE thanks to everyone who turned up, it was nice to see some new faces but also some I've not seen for 15 years! Also a mega HUGE thanks to Mike, Adam and whoever else helped film, it was really handy! I'd like to do this kind of thing again but I think I'll make more of a day of it next time and ride before the group arrived to get some more footage. Thanks a lot for watching!
