The opportunity presented itself recently and I roped BigSi in… Continue reading »]]> http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2011/07/try-something-different-for-a-change/feed/ 0 http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2011/01/leith-hill-ride-30-01-11/ http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2011/01/leith-hill-ride-30-01-11/#comments Sun, 30 Jan 2011 22:47:53 +0000 Hummerlicious http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/?p=1269 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } leith hill 30/1/11 from michael aylwin on Vimeo. woop woop]]> http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2011/01/leith-hill-ride-30-01-11/feed/ 2 http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2011/01/leith-hill-ride-report-january-23rd/ http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2011/01/leith-hill-ride-report-january-23rd/#comments Wed, 26 Jan 2011 22:03:22 +0000 Hummerlicious http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/?p=1264 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } For the second Sunday in a row my alarm went off at 6.40am, yet another early start to get the most riding in. Stupidly i hadn’t packed the night before, so in a sleepy daze I tried to chuck everything together and set off to pick up Mike from Quest.

It was an evening of slides, crashes and mishaps! Branches in mouths, suspected wrist breaks and general abrasions.

We’ve had a pretty tough time with the weather in the last few months. It’s amazing that a couple of weeks of dry have turned some trails into near summer like conditions in places!

The weather has been so good recently, for mountainbiking it really has been one of the best summers in many years. The trails have managed to remain dry and dusty, even after rain showers and I reckon they are pretty much perfect at the moment.
