Lads, all this drooling and grunting is doing nothing for making mtbing a more spectator friendly sport you know. Tootling on the other hand is much more civilised - I’ll be doffing my cap to the crowd on each lap

hadn’t heard about The Rock as yet, if it is, I’m gonna practice it a bit better this yer - I was fine first time down with about 40 people all around me doing flips over the bars etc… then my 2nd and 3rd goes at it with no-one around were brutal, I know the exact section though - there’s an off-camber rock where the soil wore-away to the left of it, which I rolled over slowly instead of hopping over with more speed

I’ll be along anyway but Mel will be in Germany taking part in her Nationals.

So is “The Rock” part of the course then?
