Title: Info on uplift days at Coombe sydenham ?
Post by: slimjimvw on April 30, 2008, 23:14:57 PM
After a year off a bike due to injury ,(see sig  ;D) i'm now back on a bike.

I wanna have a bash on a proper DH track/uplift day. I have been looking on the NACC site for details and Coombe sydenham and Avill Ball caught my eye as i'm only down in Exeter , so not to far away.

Now , seeing as i've only been back on bike a month i'm a little rusty and was wondering what sort of level the courses are ? My usual haunt is Haldons red/black runs. I ride a Bullit but a friend of mine only rides a hardtail , are they suitable for hardtails (Norco , so sturdy) ?

Also it would be cool to put some faces to the names on here and meet a few of you.

Any help appreciated.  ;)

Coombe is a wicked track.
Its suitable for most abilities. Theres the step down but that is rollable.
It was used in NPS  a few years back, that gives an indiacation of the quality of the track.

Avill ball is only to be ridden on race days and uplift days.

I'm afraid we can't run events without people committing to them.
