Southern Sandy Single track













Well I did 2 evening rides on marked and some unmarked tails. The first was called "Summer Lightning" which is very twisty and rooty and a complete contrast to riding around the West Pennines and the Peaks, 2nd trail was a quick blast in the woods called "The regurgitator" pleasant name and very apt as it has you up and down very fast and around some very fast and tight switch backs which the old steel steed loved. With this riding you have to remember that trees do hurt and that whoever laid this singletrack down wanted you to feel as one with the tree's and if you do it fast enough you can see your rear wheel on some of the twisty tight rooty corners.





I am down there again next week and plan to do the same again and explore a little further afield
On a technical note I have had to change the Bottom bracket in my Steel steed after 8 1/2 Months so not too bad as it does get a thrashing.
