From 4X to DH

With the distict lack of 4X tracks anywhere even remotely close to my new home in Edinburgh it looks like I'm going to try my hand at DH racing next year. Hopefully I'll be flying the FearingOut flag at a few SDA rounds and possibly even one or two in the NPS. I dont want to let 4X go completely though so I'm going to try and get down to Hampsterley at some point.

So to whet my appertite for the steep stuff I went down to Innerleithen at the weekend with the Edinburgh Uni Cycling Club. Not having my DH bike with me I went for a bit of a hardtail revival myself. I had so much fun trying to stick with the full sus guys on my sidekick. I rode everything that everyone else was riding but I would have appreciated something other than street tyres for when it got a little muddy.

I'm going to try and get some pictures sorted of the riding in and around Edinburgh. I'll put a post on here whenever I do. Also if anyone is ever riding near by there's an open invitation to some street riding, and a night on my flat floor!
