My new local single track!

http://www.blackcanoncollective.co.uk/

Joined a local bike club yesterday and headed over for the club ride - awesome single track right on my doorstep (ish)! The single track is all over the Longleat esate if you know where to look and the club have their own downhill trails they regularly build and maintain plus as a member you get to use the Tickertape lap timers on the weekends.

Did single speeding proud and kept up (just) with the quick group for a 16 mile session. This morning I do have bruises, scrapes and minimal mobility in my right shoulder and struggle to walk up stairs! (One of the lads had to go to hospital after a nasty fall.) Ended at a local pub for beer - what could be better!

The video (http://www.mtbmovies.com/movies.php?id=750) is of the club members only downhill course - ss hardtail ............... give it a go!

  3. Looks wicked that vid - although to be fair - thats just like what me and MA were doing at Aston Hill on Sunday!! Apart from they seem to be going faster and higher with more skill and grace, not falling off as much and not bottling it over a small double. Other than that, exactly the same.
