Reflecting after a great afternoon pumping the Olympic 2012 Trails
Three Ladies all the way from near Brighton in East Sussex.
Did we enjoy our weekend at Hadleigh? Oh yes, yes we did. Three ladies with good skills celebrating ones 50th birthday found the trails engaging, technical at times and very very ride able despite rain one day and frosts the next. The scenery was fantastic and the trails were well designed and had good surfaces throughout. We would have liked longer trails and better directional markings at key points and a hot shower to finish. That said. It was just brilliant to be riding the Olympic 2012 Park where we sat one sunny day way back watching in awe those skillful riders who blazed the trails and showed us how it should be done.
The Salvation Army Cafe was really well run, warm and friendly and a welcome stop off between trail rides. Toilets were super clean and the whole park facility was well laid out with ample parking at a very reasonable rate. Just wish I could have parked up overnight in our motor home so that we could have maxed out our time here.
We would happily have paid for an over night stop with electric hookup, something for the organizers to consider in the future perhaps as there is so much room to do so.
Thank you to all for a very welcoming venue.
