Action day! We joined the masses of motor-cross look-a-likes and tried out downhill mountain biking for the first time. In other words getting up the mountain the lazy way, on a lift, then rolling, shaking, jumping and skidding down again while dressed like a storm trooper in full body armour. 

We stuck to the green 'very easy' runs, which was hard enough. Except at one point where we accidentally ended up in a blue steep curvy afair directly under the chair lift. Ops. I had to make up for that by buying a nice lunch at the top of the mountain.

Although it's out in the nature it doesn't quite feel that way. I was way to busy holding on to the brakes and paying attention to whatever was directly in front of me. No time to stop and take in the views when you're charging down the side of the mountain bouncing over rocks at 50 km/h. It was good fun though. But they seriously need to do something about the fashion. I understand that the amount of hard plastic shells you're wrapping yourself in for protection sort of limits the clothing design options, but does it all have to look like Tommy Lee's tattoos? I think there's a marked here.
