All Downhill at Dos d'Ane......

It was all downhill for the GVC MTB riders on Sunday at the Dos d'Ane.

The site almost seems to hide how much steep gradient there is on the slopes.

A narrow twisting track had been hacked through the bracken and bushes all the way to the top. The riders needed careful commitment as there was little space to recover from any errors.

There was also a need to send riders up to the start-line in small groups due to the limited space up there. It was also impossible for me to work along most of the upper section due to space.

All this talk of restricted space had no effect on the enjoyment for the racers who seemed to love the challenge.
