Montar el cerdo de china (...riding the China Pig)

The sun was shining and I had a free day which I opted to fill with some sort of mountain biking activity... Lucky for me I checked the blog before I went out and saw your post, the challenge was set.

I knew the bridleway to the visitors centre so after a quick explore for some jumps near Kuoni (fail) I wound my way to the bottom of the bridleway. A miserable 9:40ish was my best, room for improvement. Need to confirm start and finish lines mind you.

Spent 15 minutes trying to find the start of China Pig – after 2 false starts (There are a few bridleways in that area and the start of CP is quiet well hidden) I eventually found the trail. Within 50 yards you definitely know you’re on it. So it was brakes off and away I go, missing a ride round and nearly careening into a fallen tree, oops. The rest of the trail was very nice, staying relaxed and off the brakes to skim over those hidden roots.

Defiantly worth riding again, nice one.
