I ended up going to the mtb'ing in hadleigh yesterday, great weather, but was a tad disappointed by the look of the track itself, OK it had some slightly challenging features, but most of it was just dusty bridleways flowing throughout the track

Was good day...the sun helped, thought the track was good but I dont really know what a XC track should look like to be honest, I guess it would be nicer/expected to have it in more of a wooded area but theat would cut down on spectator access/views. It does in places just look like some sand with random rocks thrown in but in other places it really is quite challenging, the riders said they liked it anyway.

All in all a fun day, nice ride there, locked bike up, watched races and the Animal stunt display, its a pity couldnt actually get Olympic tickets, heres hoping to a good legacy left !
