So much for Trekster's judgement on how long it would take me to ride down the infamous "Monument" descent at New Abbey. My glasses were steamed up, it was steep, wet, slidey, and even when walking I kept falling over into the bracken. One to go back to in the summer I think! It's an awesome descent, just somewhat beyond me!

looks cool! wrap up warm, point and go 😀
can't have been that bad... you still had time to fanny around with your camera 🙂
I remembered Danny Hart's interview after his famous run when he won and he said there was a stream forming a channel and he just went for it. Well for me there was an element of using the force but the force wasn't with me much. But then the force isn't with me much in 25 degree heat, sun and perfect vision 🙂 Great ride though and at least the climb was out of the wind, quite sheltered.
