Aston Hill is definitely a terrible idea in the wet. I managed half the XC course before giving up. Was constantly having to put my foot down and properly came off 3 times then to top it all off I fell over pushing the bike so I gave up. Wet hard pack chalk and many many roots made it lethal.
I was massively cheered up while pushing my bike back up watching people on full downhill bikes coming off in places that I had managed to stay on though.
I'm going to Swinley Forrest tomorrow though which should be alot more rideable.
