'Swampy thing'
IT'S
SUNDAY, SO ITS ANOTHER EVENTS DAY
~ Bicyclemania Ride ~ This is an idea event for first timers to have a go at
because you can do as many laps as you like spreading them
out with breaks in-between, it's up to you how much effort
you put in.
Exciting Course Don't
believe what other riders say about Clipstone Forest (Sherwood
Pines) not been challenging enough, it's was a
brilliant course, O.K. so their are no long hard climbs
but the fast twisty single-tracks make up for that. If
your not flicking form left to right your going up and
down on mini moguls, and there is no time to sit back due
to the speed you are going at. Rain, rain & more rain Did it
rain on the day, you bet. It started off light but then
turned heavy and in no time at all the course was very
slippery. Now that on its own is O.K. but when you are at
speed trying to stay in a narrow track between skin
ripping gorse bushes it becomes a different thing.
Start Somewhere Sherwood
Pines Forest is an ideal place to start off your first
mountain bike event, if it wasn't for the new riders
coming into the sport it would of died a death some time
ago.
