I’ve been so tied up trying to get the Tuesday night two rides thing established I realised we’re well into our so called ‘summer’ and we hadn’t done an evening ride up at Leith Hill. The forecast was good so it was time to revisit some of our favourite singletracks.
Hoops, Marko and Tony were turning up early for a quick blast, then the rest of us would be there for 19:30. As it was in the end it was a good group with Me, Gravitor, Pete, Felly, Uncle Phil, Hoops, Tony, Tommo and JonB.
We headed straight off into the lush single track and spent a very enjoyable evening blasting some slightly muddy trails
We did ‘Summer Lightning’ twice as it was super grippy and running fast, even if there was a trafffic jam behind a slow moving JonB the second time
So have a look at the photo if you want to know where we went, it’s easier than trying to describe it! Highlights included Tony pinning it on his Singular 29′er with drop bars all evening, some smooooth jumps from JonB at the play area, being in a short sleeved shirt and not being cold at 22:00 and good company as ever.
All finished off with Mozarella dippas, chocolate muffin and strawberry milkshake at McDonalds after
