The Army Cycling Union created a cracking 7 mile course at Minley Manor, with miles of fast singletrack flowing smoothly through the woods of the estate.
It was the type of course that rewarded you for your efforts without ever being intimidating! Never too technical, the trail wove through the trees, swinging left and right, allowing you to carry your momentum into every turn. There were a few climbs, most notably, one short, steep ramp near the beginning of the lap, but nothing to fill the heart with dread as you came round for your final lap.
Great turn out from the club!
