New MTB training thursday 17th

Post by BarryB »

Anyone interested in something different this thursday evening??
I have a motorcross track out the back of my place and it could make for an interesting 4x type thing only with a lot more pedeling :twisted:

the lap is about 500-700m, starts with a steep climb onto the first table top, down the other side into a banked 180 corner then around a 90 slightly uphill through the senna s's then onto the top straight over the second table top down off that into a v fast 180 left hander over the last table top and pedel like crazy on the flat section through some 90 corners then down the fastest straight high up onto the banking on the 180 corner to avoid the pond of DOOM and back to the start with lungs about to explode :oops: :oops: and a quick glance over your shoulder check where the pressure is coming from and on for the next lap

Anyone interested??
