We'll be heading up to Winterfold, Pitch Hill, and Holmbury too. I will be cramming as much single track as possible in, in prep for wales. This will mean a LOT of climbing, if I'm feeling nice I might try and make some of them on tarmac or fireroad tracks but you never know. I'll be aiming this at 4 hours inclusive of the obligatory cheese straw, flapjack and cuppa stop at the usual mtbers haunt in peaslake but we could run over depending on the size and speed of the group. This will be a red graded ride, ideally minimal stopping to regroup and lots of technical and rooty singletrack, though no one will be left behind and everything will be rollable. I've been over there riding 7.5 of the last 24hours and the trails are running beautifully!
Please ensure your fitness and bikes are up to the job, bring normal tools, energy bars, helmet and appropriate clothing for the weather, let's hope it stays warm and sunny!
Meeting point is the Farley Heath car park, as pretty much everyone drives this should save us some climbing and give us an extra hour ride time over Bramley station start point:.
