Aston Hill - hotter than the sun

Today all of us except Pete braved the blistering heat to ride at Aston Hill. We rode the usual tracks and messed around on the 4x jumps before chatting to Rich and finding that Gee Atherton rode and enjoyed the red run. 

If the current downhill world champion enjoyed the track then we had no excuse for not riding it. The top section does involve a lot of pedaling so it's easy to see why some people may not enjoy it but the bottom half is great fun to ride.

A mix of big berms, tight switch backs, chutes and the odd little jump make it a top track to play about on. If you're a bit cheeky, or lazy, then you can always miss out the top half of the track by cutting in next to the push up.
