Officially there isn’t a ride-up but push-up….
Saturday it was dry and dusty …
They opened the new red which is really nice but still bedding in.(the weather can’t be helping).. I’d lean towards the Aeris for the new red at the moment. A couple of places you can land in loose 6″ rocks (literally covering the side of the trail) and just have to tough it out (or go over a berm like I did) If you send the biggest end of the drop off though you land clean…
I usually take my HT down the older red but I’d probably not take it down the new one until it beds in… (its got tubes anyway and they’d last less than a single run)
Much as I love 417 .. if you want some ride-ups why not go to Cannop? There is no shade on the 417 push-up… TBH we usually ride up at lunch but the sun was just vicious … and it felt that by the time we did get up we would be so drenched …
Was equally dry Sunday but at least the ride-up is under the trees… and you also have a few variations and then can just do PAYG on uplift???
