Biking in Stortford
We rode down through the woods at Birchwood. There's a route sort of marked out that involves high speed slalom through trees and the odd jump. The whole course is on a slight downhill gradient - so you really gather momentum. You spend so much time on the brakes that you end up adjusting them when you get to the bottom to sharpen them up a tad. There are a few jumps which Andy has crashed and burned on so far. The one in the photo below is known as 'Devil's Dip' - potential for massive air!!

^ Troll bridge - one of many covered in chicken wire - so ya don't slip ^
Stortford is really good for biking - loads of variation - Urban - Rural - Climbs - Downhilling!!

Handcrouching in Hertford
^ Matt was a handcrouch virgin until now - 1st time he did the chair crouch! ^
Check out these videos - the 1st is a sort of hand crouch duel between Butch and I....

The 2nd literally took hand crouching to new heights - on a bar stool/chair over 1 meter high....

The evening was concluded by singing football songs with Matt and Butch. Initially we were joining in legitimate footy chants - then we improvised and substituted certain lyrics for..... er..... animals - for example:
I would rather be a lizard than a frog
I would rather be a lizard than a frog
I would rather be a lizard
Rather be a lizard
Rather be a lizard than a frog....
(Risky freestyled....)
Because I would have a longer tongue than you,
I would have a longer tongue than you....
Anyway - the football crowds dispersed - I think they were too witty for them.
