The magnificent Hadleigh Park National MTB XC Olympic Course

This is an on board practice lap of the National MTB XC Rd 2 course at Hadleigh Park. This was described as being as close to the 2012 Olympic course as possible. It wasn't quite the same due to there being a lot more riders to fit on the course for the National, but it was a brilliant course and I couldn't recommend Hadleigh Park more as a great MTB venue to go and enjoy socially or to race at.

The on board lap is done by Samuel Howes who finished 16th in the Youth category after dropping a chain twice.
