Back to Leith Hill

A couple of the gang had recently visited Leith Hill and reported that it was 'bone dry' and that we should take advantage before the winter misery sets in.

We had a great time - playing around and exploring some new areas for an hour and then setting off for a ride. The trails were dry and dusty and we hammered around our regular loop. There were the inevitable 'offs', I went over a steep drop into hole that was a perfect match for the front wheel radius - straight over the bars, while one of the gang was really on form and managed a couple of slow motion washouts followed by a high speed wrestle with the bike after a nasty short but very steep drop. We ended with coffee and grub at the tower.

A great day out - we didn't even have to clean the bikes afterwards.
