Rogate DH


So, first off that isn't me in the photo, it's the Maidestone Massive's George Amos.

A big group of us arranged to ride Rogate a few weeks ago. But none of us thought to check where it is until the night before. Luckily we found the place and got in an awesome days riding. Rogate's kind of like the tracks at Woburn on steroids. Some proper sweet DH runs and some big jumps waiting for you at the bottom.

The top section features loads of loose, tight and steep corners, then the gradient mellows out and you get to enjoy some flowy berms and some small drops. The photo is of the bigger double at the bottom. You can either cut onto it from another jump or ride a hip line into it.

I wasn't too keen on the early start to get there but I can't wait to ride there again. If you want to give it a go hopefully the map borrowed from Google will help you find it.
