I found no problems with them....
i did the whle course with spd's clipped-in...
I thaught they were good... just the right mix of fun and easy, so people of all abilities can do them.
There being modified after summer though arn't they...
Just read on the bedgebury website: "create one of the most exciting Freeride destinations in the south east of the UK"..... nice that they're setting their standards so high! _________________ A.BRUCE PHOTOGRAPHY |

Yeah they've got a lot to do to make that claim true!
I haven't been for a few months but when i last went i wasn't impressed by the way the doubles have been shaped. _________________

Basically what's been put in is a ' you've got this much budget, this much time' and no planning. Small mods to the course are being done but there are LARGE plans going through at present. Can't say more than that till they are cleared. Just got CTC trail building certification along with a load of club members toady which should help getting things moving quicker... _________________

large plans sounds good...
though it seems a waste to re-design the whole thing after its been built.. pretty poor organisation.
All the new plans i've seen do seem to be just what everyones been asking for though, which has been a long time coming...
This new "red route" with berms and jumps etc sounds great... can't wait for that.
Infact i'm sad that i'm going to University to be away from all this stuff happening! _________________ A.BRUCE PHOTOGRAPHY |

ahh i dream of a gap-year of pure training!
"maybe pop into fort william" yeah, blast the XC course!!!!!
but i fuigred if i had a gap-year i'd just get so lazy and i'd end up a hobo!
Hopefully i'll keep riding 6 days a week at Uni though... and ofcourse everytime i'm home we shall have rides of celebration! _________________ A.BRUCE PHOTOGRAPHY |
