He is there virtually every weekend any weather so to me, it says alot! I really want to do it soon as i have not been over the chase for a while (maybe ten years or so when i was a whipper snapper) so if you do go, it would be great if you could let me know how you get on and i will have to take a ride out after my upcoming busy weekends! Cheers Jim |

First crash was my mate going over the handlebars at about 2 mph on the narrow boards section!! (see youtube for others crashing at same point) My Crash was at about 18 mph (according to trip computer!) and involved just losing control on a very fast downhill bend and skidding for 10 foot on my right knee!! (only a few cuts though(somehow!!) Apart from the crashes we had a great morning and are planning another trip!! |

Didnt have chance today but going tomorrow.(think hubby would rather be on the golf course though) Saturday morning is biker time on the Chase. Happy cycling. Sanderson |
