Hi to the two guys in mardley heath this morning on the rollercoaster, who I nearly had a head on with.
Lucky as I had fluffed up the gearing and conked out on the uphill/downhill bit or I would have been steaming up that as you were storming down it!

There a group of three or four of us normally; we should hook up and compare notes sometime!

I was down that way on Saturday (but it wasn't me)

was one of them on hardtail singlespeed & the other on a carbon trek hardtail?

its a good little run, there is a higher one of six big lumps, with not much more than a tyres width in some place.

there is also a run on the southern side which is hard, also the double dipper, which is mighty scary!

really? for someone who lives pretty close I don't ride there very often.
I have a couple of pals from Mardley Heath who have shown me round, but I tend to stick to Woburn & chicksands as I know them better.

yep, go for it, its full of tiny runs, but demanding. you have to be very quick. also the tunnels from mardley to welwyn north/digswell are good.
