We arrived at a damp Walking Bottom carpark early on new years eve. The ground was soggy with a few puddles but luckily the rain held off and I was keen to get out and burn off a bit of energy after vegging out on the sofa for most of the past week. Dobby had… Continue reading »

Try something different for a change!
I do like a nice cyclocross bike me, and although I’ve had plenty before I’ve only ever used them for commuting and racing and never actually taken one off road for a ride on a route that I would normally do on a mountain bike. The opportunity presented itself recently and I roped BigSi in… Continue reading »

Sunday at Pitch – Good for the Soul
It was a cloudy start to the day after what had been a rain soaked week. It was one of those usual mornings when you’re unsure what to wear. In the end I decided to leave the jackets at home and just go for the trusty Sussex-MTB top. Arriving at the carpark I was surprised… Continue reading »

North Downs Snow Fun
There’s something about the snow that draws me out. I love it; love the chaos it causes, even though it’s a pain. This time however it came at the weekend. Tops – I can play without having to worry about work. It also forces me to ride locally, as there was no chance of getting… Continue reading »

Somewhere new
Well it’s always great to ride somewhere a bit different, last Tuesday we went to Leith Hill and rode some new bits over in the Redlands area that we hadn’t ventured onto before. It was an evening of slides, crashes and mishaps! Branches in mouths, suspected wrist breaks and general abrasions. Remember it’s a jungle… Continue reading »

Leith hill fun
09-03-10 leith hill ride Originally uploaded by www.sussex-mtb.com Tuesday night’s ride route from Leith Hill. 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! Leith Hill’s ‘Summer lightning’ trail is… Continue reading »

Autumn sunshine blast
It’s a long story that I won’t explain, but I found myself having done the school/nursery run, and with 2 hours to kill before Little Daddy needed picking up. The sun was shining (again), the ground ridiculously dry and dusty considering it is October and the lure of the North Downs in spectacular Autumn colour… Continue reading »

New Years Eve, Frosty, frozen and fast…
In order to equalise the effect of the usual overindulgent Christmas bingeing I’ve been riding and running a fair bit over the holiday period, culminating today in a 2hour hack on the north downs this morning. I couldn’t resist the minus 3 frost and frozen ground, so set off from home on my Ellsworth… Continue reading »
