Celebrating anniversaries can be fun.
And it's those spontaneous events that really stand out.
We've been chatting with one of our neighbours over the past few weeks - he lives above us, works in health and does some stupidly mad hours - but as it turns out is also a firm believer in the 'Work hard, play hard' adage. He'll disappear into the darkness some nights with his BMX or street rig and shred up some concrete and drop offs. So it was a pleasure to be offered the use of one of his bikes for an afternoon of riding. OK - so I haven't ridden for over a year, and being in marginal control of a hardtail, with street slicks and no body armour, riding over very unfamiliar terrain did provide more than a few clenching moments. But Dr M and his friend James were great guides, and despite downplaying their own riding abilities, were hitting up some mint obstacles.
The terrain is nothing like I've ridden on before so I was glad that I'd packed the camera, flash and off-camera flash cord. So I set up, and caught some images of both the riders flowing over sections like The Temple Of Doom but unfortunately a new built lead-in jump to a berm failed to provide any spectacular images. Next time.
