Allestree Park - this Saturday (9th April)

An event that was planned a long, long time ago, seems to have suddenly come around - Allestree Park this Saturday!

In case you haven't seen the Facebook events page, the plan is to be there 12ish onwards. I will/can be there earlier either in case anyone wants an early session, and also to clear the main tracks. Early starters - let me know!

If the weather is bad/tracks are running slow/people want a change of scenery, then the back-up plan is Hemlock stone. Maps to both places are on the FB link above.

The site is a big old wood on top of a hill with a golf course below. The golf course is public ground so is rideable as long as we stay off the greens and don't take the piss. However, my gut feeling is that most people will be in the woods.

The woods runs are typically couple of hundred metres in length, but vary hugely depending on which features you want to hit. Quite a few lines are well defined, but there's plenty of variation and alternate bits.

Think I've covered everything. My understanding is that the Plymouth Uni crew are up all weekend, so don't worry about us all buggering off too early if you have a longish journey! ;-D

Brother Rob should be down to shoot some footage. No cable cam, but should be HD!

Right, videos....
