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 »]]> http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2011/01/sunday-at-pitch-good-for-the-soul/feed/ 5 http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2010/12/advent-calendar-dec-7th/ http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2010/12/advent-calendar-dec-7th/#comments Tue, 07 Dec 2010 09:00:13 +0000 Hummerlicious http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/?p=1153 #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; } Mike at Pitch Hill]]> http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2010/12/advent-calendar-dec-7th/feed/ 0 http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2010/05/pitch-hill-fun/ http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2010/05/pitch-hill-fun/#comments Sun, 30 May 2010 22:31:08 +0000 Hummerlicious http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2010/05/pitch-hill-fun/ #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; } Well despite the bad weather on Saturday, Sunday dawned and it was warm(ish) and dry. We were really looking forward to hitting the Pitch Hill trails again so Tom, Bobster, Deadly, Rich and I met up with Big Daddy in the top car park. We did some of the usual stuff: Judge's seat, double headed… Continue reading »]]> http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2010/05/pitch-hill-fun/feed/ 1 http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2009/06/pitch-hill-lushness/ http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2009/06/pitch-hill-lushness/#comments Sat, 27 Jun 2009 22:07:03 +0000 Hummerlicious http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2009/06/pitch-hill-lushness/ #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; } Pitch Hill lushness Originally uploaded by www.sussex-mtb.com Make the most of the dusty lushness guys, A few of us went to Pitch Hill this afternoon for a spin.

So it was that I set off from home to ride the 20 or so miles to Pitch hill, sun on my back, if a bit on the chilly side.
