I awoke for another six in the morning start no problem, the porblem came when I tred to move my limbs to get out of bed, nothing was moving I thought I was nailed to the bed. Eventually the bed started to release me and movement came to my joints, I ached in places that I did'nt know I had, the enormitty of what I was taking on hit home and how unfit I had become over the years.
We drove down to the farm arrived in time for breakfast, Andrew briefed us on the days training.
He would lead a group of four of us on a days green laneing trip, the first thing that went through my mind was how much I was going to ache after.
We had a fantastic day it was a blast hard work but fun Andrew took time to stop and explain the more challengeing areas, what to do with the bike and where you should be on the bike, not always in my case we parted company a couple of times, but no harm was done to machine or me.
In our merry band of men was Gary, turns out he was doing the Heroes Legend for charity as well.
At the end of the day I was tired to say the least but we had a fun time.
My skill level was low but I had training from expericed off roaders to build on, in the forcoming Endoro's all I could hear was Jim's voice from the shed in my head saying sit here for this corner, move to there for another and Andrew's voice from the green lane day going shift your weight foreward for this climb, only front brake here and so on.........those little voice's got me and my bike out of trouble more than once. THANKS GUYS.
