ROUTES AND RIDES - Trails

Sunday ride 25th May 2003

Summers here! Two hail storms, Rod's back, slightly swampy conditions, great ride. Rod was testing out his new shoulder, 6months of physiotherapy seemed to have worked well enough though.

We spent 4hours on Leith Hill without any repetition. Did 'Jail break' a new singletrack connecting 'Sue Egypt' with 'sticky fingers' then over to 'pint glass' & 'chocolate Jesus'. Then onto 'personal hygiene' which was a bit scary just after one of the storms. Over to the other side of Leith Hill to Redlands to do 'punch the clock' & 'foot & mouth' & finishing on 'white jam' before crossing the road again to do 'cream egg' & 'man friday'. Simon Day thought it wise to go full speed straight into the swamp at the bottom of 'man friday' which was entertaining, sadly didn't have the video camera on for that. When I've figured out how to load the video pictures I'll put them on. For now here's some pictures we took earlier.

'Golden Birdies'                              A bridge near 'Hang wire'

'365' so named from a famous surfing spot in South Africa. Named by the first person to clean it, a South African guy called Rod Frost
