Just returned home from a couple of laps of Aston hill xc and my god it's killer! Though short Very short i think I'm morr knackered than I would have been doing a 35 mile loop! Any one else agree or do I need to MTFU?

The second part of XC loop is a challenge. All the way uphill, literally. Don't know why the hell you didn't ride DH and X4.

tis a bitch
ive often planned to do 2 or 3 loops, but by the time i drag myself back to the start, i change tack and take in a couple of DH runs and push back up.

well I must come over and have a try soon, do you need to pay or can you just turn up and ride?

I'm a roadie at heart but I want to know what the ride is like and weather it is worth a trip over.

I need to find better routes and I'm sick of the woburn woods area.

cheers

Accidentally went down that on the first run of the day last time I went, shit my pants to be honest.
The most technical riding I've done by a long shot.
