Anyone fancy a sesh at the Hill in the morning?

I'm thinking I need to service my 40s before so I'll have some nice setup changes to do aswell. If anyone knows how best to setup up the fork for a particular weight and riding style can you give us a little info on this page eg. Sag, rebound etc..

Hi Marcos
I went Aston yesterday with adem and what a difference it was from Sunday.its a real struggle to stay on the bike as we found out. I had a little fight with a tree and lost and adem was attempting some break dancing with his bike on the wooden section at the bottom of the Xc The 423 was a big no no just too slippery. We mainly done the dh part of the Xc, dh3 was ok and the 4x. Sorry I can't join ya m8 but I'm feeling too battered

I'll be there on Sunday, I'd be interested to hear how it's riding currently! Last time I went was over summer, it was unbelievably dusty and loose, looks like it's a bit different at the moment!

Cool, I might head there again tomorrow depending on if it rains or not. Today was wet and wild, came off a few times but luckily the mud was there to stop me hurting myself. Besides that, I'm still waiting for pads and Helmet, which I should get first before attempting it in the wet again..

Last week had perfect conditions, just right. Today was fun but in a manner that made you concentrate a lot more.

Drive in reverse... ?

Mate, Aston Hill if F-ing amazing, the only downside is the walk back ..., but in all honesty, its like 7mins if you don't stop. Defo make some time for this place. You got all the gear already for the spills?
