Its been about a year since I last went for an XC ride. But with the Cove dusted off and my sister dragging me kicking and screaming I went out on Sunday to see just how unfit I’ve become. Very, is the answer!
We were only out for about 2.5 hours, and only climbed one big hill, Rodmead Hill. But man, hollow legs 🙁 Sunny weather was nice though and Rodmead Hill has a Gliding Club on top, which was nice to watch as we rode by. Sadly teh descent off of White Sheet Hill was very disappointing and wasn’t worth the climb. That, and the lack of nearly all bridleway signs and the roughest ploughed field ever probably mean I’ll not go back that way again. Alfreds Tower is pretty cool mind.
I did enjoy myself though, I must ride more XC!
