Weather update for weekend 30th April

Apr
Comments Off   Posted by Aston Hillbilly |  Category:Weather and conditions

Dry! Ride!

After the unseasonal dry spell there is a splatter of rain predicted Friday, but to be honest this should do the Hill a whole lot of good as it will help the dusty conditions to settle. Otherwise it looks like more of the same once the northerly wind switches direction - dry, warm conditions. Enjoy the summer while it lasts!

Weather update for weekend 23rd April

Warm, probably muggy

It’s looking like it could get a little damp, but will remain warm. After the recent dry weather the rain could help settle things down nicely towards Saturday afternoon, although possibly make Sunday a little greasy. Monday however is looking fine and dry!

Tune of the week? Something nice and positive to get you in the mood for carving trails in the sun and make you feel alive!

Weather update for weekend 16th April

Looking fine and dry, if a little nippy.

It’s looking to be another great weekend, if a little chilly at times. The wind is coming in from the north which will hit the Hill straight off the Aylesbury Vale, so take something warm to wear in the car park.

It’s been a dry week otherwise, so the small amount of rain forecast Saturday night shouldn’t stop the trails being pretty damn fine!

This is not a weekend to put on the red light. Get out there!

Warm and dry.

If you’re not out at the British Downhill Series, then you really need to be out on your bike!

Conditions are looking fantastic for the weekend - who knows how long this will last?

There’s a dig day happening Sunday. If you want to take part, be in the carpark at 10am and if you’re riding keep an eye out for Hillbillies in fluro vests.

It’ll probably jinx it, but it needs to be said: here comes the sun!

Weather update for weekend 2nd April

Dry, with the possibility of showers.

While it won’t be as dusty as the Black Run Race last weekend, it should still be relatively dry in most places at the Hill over the weekend. There will be some wet and slippery patches, but anywhere exposed should be nice and dry - even the showers forecasted shouldn’t affect things too much.

The Hill is now shutting at 6.30pm, giving you more time to ride in the evening. Praise be for daylight saving!

Come on - come around!

Aston Hill gets an uplift!

Apr

Yes, it’s true. After years of listening to riders saying that they want an uplift, the Aston Hill think tank have finally worked out a solution that should solve the problem for once and for all.

Pre-race Black Run

We all know how how hard it is pushing back up Aston Hill. The uplift should solve all this.
