Well, it's 2007 and I'm really looking forward to a new year of mountain biking challenges. I think the first port of call will be to reutrn to Healey Nab, situated in Heapey, Chorley.

On my last visit I found many a promising downhill to push the limits of speed and daring. My biggest discovery was a path that leads down through the forest and ends up on Eaves Lane in Chorley. The main reason, a series of jumps and sharp technical turns. This route also has mini routes within it, seperate paths which can be taken so no run is exactly the same.

I also want to master a mountain bike trick, "The Manual." This is where you freewheel on your rear wheel whilst leaning backwards to maintain balance. I have only been able to do it for short periods so more practice and I'll be there.
