I hope you all enjoyed a nice day at Farley Mount, the vegetation being high at this time of the year means Mountain Bike races on tracks is an ideal way to keep using areas, hopefully a few more of you foot sloggers will start to give it a go, I can assure you it will be a new experience and you don't need a top range bike to do it, I have been using my son's cheap Argos mountain bike until yesterday when I decided to splash out on a new bike. Start by trying the B course and if you get the bug then move up.
Even with a map board you cannot read the map all the time as you have to concentrate on where the wheels are going & low branches so it tends to be read map, memorise a bit, ride hard & repeat, so it is still possible to compete without a map board.
The next event will be Perham Down on Wed 11 August and then we have the Army
MTBO Champs in Wales on 18 August at Usk
