Welcome

| 26th October 2003 Richard, Keef, Paul and David - The Big 8 It's a return to the pure XC of Epsom Downs and the legendary Big 8 loop. |

| some of the great Surrey scenery | and some of the urban riding I'm riding dialled bikes Kobe Ti whilst David makes a rare excursion. He bought a Specialized Enduro 2003 frame a couple of months ago but has only been out on it a handful of times. Despite the week's rain the ground is still rock hard and very fast. After all the 'extreme XC' or 'freeride lite' of the last few months on the North Downs this is much more of a pure XC, fast ride with only the chalky descent of Colley Hill offering a few drop-offs. The miles fly by as we head past Reigate Hill, along the North Downs Way and back up to Epsom Downs to complete the circuit. | |||||||
