Right then…
After deciding that we were just going to trot out the same track as the last one, but with a couple of variations, we went out this morning and completely redesigned it.
The venue is the same, but the course is about 80% different.
Gone are the…
Compulsory dismount.
Muddy decking.
Road crossing.
Tarmac section.
Descent past the pond.
In are…
2 x Evil carry/push climbs.
Long and fast woodland downhill.
Technical downhill used in HtN 1.
Flat out fast hardpack section.
New single track bits recently cleared by the council.
Staying are…
The steps.
The start/finish field.
The long climb.
“Rooley’s Chin” descent.
The new layout flows much better than the old one with much more gradient. It should hold up better in the wet. Lap length about 3 miles.
We will preview ride it in a couple of weeks to see how it copes with a bunch of riders. Details on here and at our place when we get round to tidying it up.
