appleyam:
wet weather riding
been using swinley as an all year round centre for the last 8-10 years. great fun all year round.
great in the wet great in the frost
not bad in the snow
sand is out to get you
always something new about the ride
What do you like?
trails when wet firm up and offer better grip than the bone dry sand of summer.
the wet roots are great for skills/balance development and give core muscles a hell of a work out.
wet stuff doesn't really stick to the bike and double the weight.
drains pretty quick offering decent riding all year round
trail fairies come out and repair damage with hardcore and cut new fun bits too - many thanks!!!!
What could be improved?
trails do suffer from excessive use in wet and keep getting wider and with deeper ruts. think some of the busier trails should be shut to allow the ground to recover periodically
not the trail centre solid surfaces so speed suffers but strength builds
Would you recommend?
*Yes*
