The climb up from the car park is a killer - but we slogged it out. You get a little bit of the red route and two fun singletrack sections with drops and berms before you head off for Cragg across the moor - and this section is now surfaced with an all weather gravel - which hopefully will last! Over in Cragg Jon did nearly two full loops and the rest of us mere mortals just one. The first bit on the way out is ok, but the fun starts about a third into the loop, some awesome sections, loads of pump and flow... and the new sections are great - really build on what's there - Tony and his team have done a grand job.
After a quick breather in the sun we headed back down the moor to Lee - and the new cross moor section was very quick on the way back! We went back to the skills area and fooled about for a bit before finishing off with the last three sections of red singletrack - which finished so so well with the little section through the trees.
So what next? More rides planned for the rest of 2011, and week night rides start the week after next when the clocks change!
