Last weekend played host to the first of this years Woodland Rider’s winter series. This is a four part series and is currently the only race series down this way (Cornwall/Devon).
This year brought new aspects to racing for me. I am going to be 30 this year (yeah I know, ouch!) which means that I am now in Masters category, this is great news as I lose some of the close-knit competition from the Seniors.
Back in November last year, a few of us South West AR representers took a trip to Triscombe, in fact, we went up twice in as many weeks because it was so good.
This place is fantastic, end of! With at least 8 tracks there including the steep Brendog track (which isn’t actually his), and an amazing, friendly uplift service, it is probably one of the best places to go in the South West.
However…. it doesn’t all smell of roses. Triscombe is currently under threat because the council want to sell the land that is home to these downhill tracks.
If this goes ahead, you may never get to sample these great tracks. If you have already been then you’ll know that it is worth saving, if you haven’t, then you need to get there quick!
There is a petition already running to appose the council’s plans, if you could take a minute to sign up I am sure it would be appreciated by everyone that uses the facilities there.
Much Love x

So glad to see Akrigg back on his bike, he’s still got a way to go but by the looks of things he aint going to let anything stop him getting there. Enjoy
That’s right, a whole uplift trailer to the two of us! That also meant a whole hillside of dh tracks (including a Dragons and a National) to two riders!
Interested?

A very belated Happy New Year! We’re back in the land of the living (or at least the Internet).
A massive thank you for all your support over the past year.
We’ve made a few resolutions for this new year. The first is to get out and ride more, the second is to brake less (mainly down to the cost of pads!) and the third is to document the first two and hopefully inspire you lot to do the same.
So Happy New Year, hope it’s a good one!
