GREASING OUT
WORDS CHIPPS
Daz was our ride leader for the evening, so he got to deliver the pep talk at the top of the final descent – a rocky start with a rollercoaster grassy singletrack lower down that got faster.
It was one of our local favourites, but a couple of riders had never ridden it before so Daz filled them in on some of the hazards. A little overkill normally but, hey, it was pitch black.
“It starts rocky and awkward, but then opens out onto a grass ride where you can go flat out. Mind some of the grass corners though or you’ll grease out.”
