Bucksmtb Forum XMAS Group Ride 2006
Aston Hill, 27th Dec


Ever since we started up Bucksmtb we have had a traditional Forum & Race Team group ride each year on Christmas Eve. Sadly this year Christmas Eve didn't suit most people so we went for the 27th of December instead....

This year we headed back to Aston Hill for a day of Downhill Riding organised in partnership between us and users of our busy forum.

The fog and showers of the last few weeks gave way to give us a cold but sunny day, and surprisingly after all the rain we have had the Downhill Tracks at Aston Hill were riding really well. The tracks in all were grippy but there were plenty of wet muddy corners to catch you out if you were over confident....

Just under 30 people attended this Years ride which was a superb success. We had over 40 listed to attend on the week leading up to Christmas, but as with all things its not easy to plan ahead over such a busy time as Christmas. 30 though was a great turn out and it was really good to get the team together, and for people who we ride with and that use our forum to catch up too.

This year we didn't hold a Christmas Cross Country Forum Ride as there simply wasn't enough interest to warrant organising it. Shame really. Maybe next year...

All in all the day was a huge success and it was great to have such a good turn out, good track conditions and fair weather that led to some great riding for the day. A shout of thanks goes out to everyone who helped organise the event, and thanks to everyone who attended... There's still loads of sweets left too if anyone's hungry....!?!?

Keep a look out for official Bucksmtb Group Rides for 2007 along with many more forum organised events.

Happy New Year to all.
