Very nice - need to get myself over to the Surrey Hills. They're right on my doorstep but one really really muddy ride without really knowing where I was going put me off.

Keep an eye on London Calling in rides. We ride there most weekends, more than welcome to come along for a guided tour.

I might have to take you up on that - before winter closes in !

Winter? no problem, some of the best rides last year were in fresh snow.

Bigpee, just pm me or get in touch via Facebook (link below). I'm out there most weekends so anytime you fancy riding there just get in touch. Although the next two weekends I'm away. after that it business as normal with either a saturday or sunday ride.

Cooldad, agreed winter is super fun. the snow made for interesting riding last winter and i hope we get some more of it. I will take a look at London calling also.

Nice - got me in the mood for heading over there on Sunday.

Suspect it will be a little wetter than the conditions in your vid though.

I was over there last sunday, did BKB in the dry, headed over to the pots and it peed it down. Brought bake memories of winter riding with grinding brakes, cold feet and a wet ar$e.

I do like the pots though, better than BKB, because you can ride them in so many different ways.

very nice video, well shot!

Not my favourite trail but you've done a grand job of making it look excellent, nice one.

Did you film that a couple of Sundays ago? Nearly took out a bunch of guys stood in the middle of the trail setting up cameras!

Surprised you don't take the high left line through the bigger bombhole too.

Good video though!

You must have left earlier than us, started just as we left Walking Bottom, hosed down all the way up Holmbury, to Leith and halfway back again.

I don't normally leave the bike too cruddy, but it's still sitting there with a thick coating.

All I wanted was a hot shower.

We'd planned to do 3 laps (BKB YP, Tele), but met a couple of broken down newbies at the bottom on ranmore and by the time we had fixed their broken chain twice we'd wasted the best part of an hour. Did one and half laps and then had enough - left Homlbury about lunch time ish.

That is a cracking video btw - makes the drops look steeper than they are.

When did you find a sunny day though to do it? Can't have been recently!

Nicely done, and managed to avoid crushing the camera too.

Adding to the London Calling thread, there's the FB group to go with it too: https://www.facebook.com/groups/londoncallingmtb

All just used to arrange rides or whatever so feel free. Someone's usually out somewhere each week.

There was some sort of live action battle club at homlbury today - lots of folk running around in sacks with plastic swords. The MTBers looked less geeky for a change.

Yeah, I've seen them a few times. Usually round near the youth hostel. Bit weird coming round the corner to see people with swords. Sure I saw some wizard types too. Strange things people do in the woods.
