Late summer sun for the MTB XC ride

The MTB XC group enjoyed a ride from Abinger Roughs in late summer sunshine.

This turned into a ride with a surprising amount of climbing and numerous sandy sections dotted throughout. The long single track  climb out of Farley Green to Winterfold certainly helped us hone our sand riding skills (with some rocks and roots to add extra spice) to a perfection. I think everyone was grateful when we reached the top and  hit the flowing single track to the tea stop.
