I heard a "track" call from behind me in Wharncliffe Woods one day, slowed
(even more than I already was) and pulled to on side. Heard "thanks" as some
tall lanky guys over took with a couple of pedal strokes and then a "follow my
line" so I did. I thought to myself "this guy is fast!!!" but did my best,
luckily the leaves were off the trees so I could keep him in sight.
Got to the bottom of the (very short) DH track there to realise that I had
been 'following' Steve Peat.
Great chat about his racing on the push back up the hill (you push back up
what you just rode in a lot of cases - no chair lift assist at Wharncliffe)
and some really friendly pointers on where to get more traction and shave some
time through lines that I would never have seen.
An all round nice guy just out for some local training (when at home) &
happy to chat to fellow mountain bikers on the push back up the hill.
