Bloemendal for a relaxing recovery ride.

 

Two laps of B Spot and some coffee.

 

Then got the bright idea to take a very relaxing ride up to the start of Home Run .... got there and turned left .... UP and up and up ....  Go to the very top and decided to see what the XCO track is all about - knowing that I surely wont be "grabbing air", just a slow scouting ride ....

The start was pretty much what I expected .... did NOT expect the 180 degree turn taking me back up the hill !

 

The second down section has the very visible jump, followed by yet another 180 degree turn .. but just a short climb.  Though riding up those steps are "interesting" !!  Happy that I did manage most of them.

 

The third climb took some concentration, up those terraces .....

DONT be fooled !!  The chicken run is more trying than most other trails !!  Nice sections with rocks ...

 

 

 

Actually a NICE route !  But be very careful !!  If you come around a corner too fast you may not have enough time plan your options for what awaits you ....

 

 

 

Surely want to be up there with a camera when the serious riders have their fun ....
