My mates just got himself a mountain bike and has been doing very short sub 10 mile rides so I thought It'd be good to test him a bit so we rode up Reigate Hill and hit some of the 'trails' (used in the loosest definition of the word compared to what some of you guys get up to) up there this morning).
Was absolutely brilliant fun. I'd forgotten how liberating it can be after months of longer distance road riding. Got absolutely plastered in mud and completely drenched but was grinning like an idiot the whole way.
Do need to replace the awful road-biased tyres on the old girl though as they were just a bit dodgy in places.
Aiming to do the South downs way 100 next spring so will have keep my mates motivation up as he was suffering a bit!
Not sure what my point was now apart from it's a blooming good sport isn't it?!?
