‘Changeable’ sums it up nicely.

At the risk of sounding like a wishy-washy weatherman, it is looking ‘changeable’. There’s money on the forecast below ‘changing’ before the day is out as well.

It does look dry-ish on most of the weather sites and with mild temps, a bit of wind and a bit of sun it may yet make a semi-decent riding weekend. There has been some rain through the week, so underwheel won’t be the dusty conditions that we’ve had recently; consequently if it stays dry then it should be good, but if it is a little drizzly expect a few greasy sections.

A quick reminder too - it’s round three of the British Downhill Series up at Glencoe this weekend and round three of the Schwalbe British and Euro 4X Champs at Afan. If you aren’t riding your bike this weekend then you really should be spectating!

Mild, but mainly dry.

It looks like another mild but slightly unsettled weekend. The light rain forecast for the rest of the day should do nothing more than help firm everything up, and while tomorrow won’t be particularly warm it should be dry, making it a very good day for riding.

Sunday is looking like there could be some rain; if it’s anything more than a slight drizzle it could make riding greasy for a few hours, but otherwise should continue to help to keep the dust down.

Overall it’s looking pretty good, so if you aren’t racing in Germany this weekend or watching the XC World Cup in Dalby, it’s a good opportunity to get some quiet runs in!

Unsettled and mild.

The milder weather looks like it’s here for a bit longer, which is good thing for the Hill. While the weather shouldn’t cause you too much sunburn, the occasional showers will be adding much-needed moisture to the ground which will make conditions better for the next few weeks.

However, this weekend the exposed chalk and dry, loose dirt could easily get greasy and claggy after any heavy or prolonged showers - Saturday morning might have a few greasy patches after overnight rain and colder temperatures. While there’s nothing else particularly horrendous forecast, it doesn’t hurt to be aware!

Enjoy!

Warm and wet.

It’s been a glorious few weeks without rain, but that looks set to change over the weekend. The reports all differ slightly, but essentially it looks like there’s going to be a good amount of the wet stuff around both Friday and Saturday nights, with occasional showers during the day.

The ground undoubtedly needs some rain, so while some showers will really help settle the dust and firm everything up again the exposed chalk and dry, loose dirt could easily get greasy and claggy after any heavy or prolonged showers, especially on the more popular and dusty lines. The warm temps should see things drying out quickly though, so conditions could be quite special later on Saturday if the Metcheck forecast is correct.

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!

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!

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!

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!

It’s been a dry week. The sun is shining outside. And you know what? It’s looking pretty special for the weekend!

(After the recent weather, do you have any idea how nice it is to say that?)

As you no doubt know, it’s the Black Run Race this weekend. It will affect opening, so have a read through here to get an idea of what’s going on.

And you know, if there’s any tune that’s guaranteed to get anyone over 25 going fast this weekend, then this has to be it. Start your engines!

Saturday is looking finer, but maybe a bit damp in the more sheltered spots after light rain today and freezing temps tonight.

This weekend is the first race of the British Downhill Series, but the last that you can practice before the Black Run Race here at the Hill on 27th March (fear not - next Saturday will be open as usual for practice as well).

The BBC and Metcheck are both saying it’s going to be fairly warm; tomorrow is looking particularly rad - if sunny skies make you feel good, then Saturday is the one!

Sunday is potentially a light drizzly one, but if Saturday plans out as predicted and the trails are good and dry, then it should be very, very rideable. BOOM!

First time riding at Aston Hill? Then read the essentials and the frequently asked questions – when wet, clay, chalk, flint and wet roots make Aston Hill a very different animal. The boardwalk at the bottom of the Red Run is particularly slippery when your tyres are covered with a layer of mud.

Go on - get out and feed this addiction!
