Day2 – Lets Stall One More Time! – Trans Euro Trail – Wales!
Just to be clear, on the first day me and Andrew didn’t manage to do any trails, so the second day is the actual first day on the Trans Euro Trail for us!
In the morning we had a fairly late start, only at 9 oclock everyone started to move. Me, not wanting to disturb the peace, didn’t check the bike until the last half an hour.
Started the bike, and still the same problem persisted – not wanting to run on idle would really make my day if not all trip miserable! After checking a few things, and adjusting the idle screw on my AJP PR7 to keep it running at around 3000 RPM I just about managed to get along with it.
While checking bits on the PR7 I didn’t want to keep everyone waiting for me for obvious reasons, and by the time I was done with AJP, everyone was long gone apart from Andrew. From there it was a bit of a chase trying to catch up with the group.
Eventually we gave up trying to catch up, and two of us decided to go ahead and sort problems on our bikes – idle problem on my AJP as running 3k rpm was a bit of a nuisance, and phone charger on Andrews Yamaha XT660Z!
First call for us was the nearest Halfords shop, which was some 11miles away in Aberdare. While sorting out bikes we treated ourselves with nice hot pizza from Dominos that was conveniently located right next to!
Once we were happy with our repairs and full tummies, we rejoined the trails at the nearest spot. Skipping a few lanes for the sake of repairs and eventually two of us navigating ment we could make good progress! What we learned later that things didn’t go very smoothly for the group either – problems of their own, punctures etc… It didn’t take very long for us to catch up with the rest of the group! After some time we went our separate ways again. Nothing personal, simply the group was too big for our liking!
The rest of the day went on fairly well, we made good progress again. And only next morning (because of no reception) we figured that the rest of the group bumped into few some problems – snapped clutch cable on one of the bikes. In either case we had nothing to help the rider with that problem, but in the future i think i should include a cable repair kit for problems like that!
We set up our camp very late in the evening – 2 trail riding hours ahead of the rest of the group, with the idea to strip my bike again to make some changes before the rest of the group will catch up with us!
