Woodbury Pics

Morning all. Rummaging thro some old gear at the weekend and found this.
Taken circa 91/92 down at Woodbury Common during a race series.
Piloting my Trek 7000, complete with stripped paint finish, and 17" hyperlites...oooh I can feel the twitchy sketchy handling already!
Raced here with Raidan and the Ralph Colman crew BITD.

Over by the Marine tunnels, and at the bottom of the same chute, 1993 Winter Series:

Re:

Nice airtime! I can remember that chute was about the only let up from the relentless singletrack and climbing on the whole lap!

Re:

It was straight after that bastard of a climb as well

Re:

I grovelled up that stoney climb after 1 lap of a winter series race 93 ish, into a block headwind and driving rain...and climbed off and went back to the car! It was the last time I rode Woodbury ever...haunts me to this day :facepalm:

Re:

It was always FREEZING up there, and the gritty surface played havoc with cables that were left to dry after a race as well.

Re:

You guys should come back. It's great up there still.

I keep meaning to, but never get round to it. Partly concerned with leaving the car at Four Firs for so long, whereas at Haldon I know it's safe.

Re:

For a days riding? I've never been concerned. Overnight maybe but otherwise no issues.

Re:

It's real local but a drive away from me, so my routes are poor as I don't go there super often (hi monthly maybe) but if there's interest I can rustle up 3 or 4 Super locals to get a good ride if people are keen.
