I’ll get my excuses in first:
1 It wasn’t my idea – Sunday Mtb mates who bought bikes from
Pedal Heaven in Fleet and they were holding an Open day
2 I rode my bike (Canyon Anthem) on the serious trail (cough, Blue Trail Swinley)
3 It was a hardtail so doesn’t count for people like me who need all the help going
4 I just rode the bike (carbon, didn’t I mention that earlier?) on the Green Trail
5 It was a small frame so I (5’11”) felt like a giant
6 I’m not buying a 29er, no way
Oh, what was it like? With apologies to Wittertainees, Blimey Charlie! I had to check there wasn’t
a rocket attached to the seat post. Superb fun. Sure it rolled as well uphill as down.
Conclusion – Those whippets at the front of the Gorrick races have it easy.
Cheers Des (Pedal Heaven) for a most enjoyable morning .
