My first South downs way ride of the season and Paul K's first ride on his brand new Specialized rockhopper (he won this on ebay and saved himself £200). After a few adjustments to paul's new steed we were off (Steve, Paul K, Ivan and Duncan)
It took paul a while to get used to the handling on an off road bike but he soon got it. The decent off the side of Chanctonbury bury ring is treacherous at the best of times but with the recent wet weather it was lethal. Myself, paul and Ivan decided to walk down it but Duncan managed to ride down it (slowly!). There was another muddy section at the base of Chanctonbury hill, but eventually we got through it all. We had a cake stop at a big garden centre just outside wiston. The climb back up to the top of the downs was as hard as expected, but duncan rode it very well, leaving myself and paul bringing up the rear.
