Hey all,
I'm back on the bike after 2 months due to injury, tentatively rode my first downhill race ever yesterday and was slow as fuck. But it was wicked, I got battered by the rock garden section and just about kept it together, more by luck than judgement. If you've got a fairly hardcore bike (hardtail or FS, I was on an 100mm 4X hardtail) then PORC @ Penshurst in Kent is well worth a trip. Good vibes, demanding but not too tough for a first timer and well run. Check it out.
