Can we confirm whether we will be using just the bottom circuit or the whole track at Hog Hill please?
I think Geoff is organising that one?
 
Many thanks to Twed for volunteering to organise at Hillingdon... Clap

Yes, I've only booked the bottom track.  And from 12.00, rather than the usual 11.00.

I'm happy to help with the organisating in any way that would be, er, helpful Geoff. Other than grappling with an electronic timing system, that is... Wacko

Why can we not use the whole track? It makes a nice change from the other tracks we use which are all pritty much flat :(

Because it is no fun for overweight middle aged riders like me to get up that hill, never mind race it and do it time after time, just start drinking beer and wait 20 years and you will understand..
 
The bottom track is good fun anyway, just be prepared for punctures from the flints washed onto the track.

I agree with Lee, and I have been drinking beer for 40 years! Either way the flints at the bottom are a nuisance, not just washed down but spread by mountain bikerist cutting across the track.

I'll bring a broom. I liked the hill too, although I prefered the downhill to the uphill.
