[quote="marco"]Brilliant ride, thanks Andrew for organising it.
Thanks for taking us through the trails Marco. I've been there enough times to be able to sort of follow my nose a bit, but would be more a case of stumbling in to things rather than heading to specific trails etc.
A grand day out, about 5 hours up and over Pitch, Holmbury, and Leith hills of gentle climbing on a variety of trails and some good singletrack to lose the elevation. I really like the twists and turns and flicks and little drop offs. Although the big wooooaaahhhh bits like the fag end of Barry's is fun too it's over a bit too quick whereas the longer more gradual ones you can really get in to. Also less chance of brown trowsering it.
How anyone ever descending the Widowmaker on a bike is beyond me. It's a vertical rockface which is hard enough to scrabble up shouldering your bike.
