Mountain biking

This descent is wide open and fast - at least initially. It soon becomes rather more rocky than is welcome as you charge into it at warp factor nine. Careful application of the brakes will soon see you right, though, and there's an excellent sojourn through some wooded quarry ruins at the end.

Bit of a kidney rattler if you're on a gravel bike. Take it steady and watch out for the rain gulleys.
