Leith Hill MTB tragedy

Sad news at the weekend as reports surfaced of a fatality in the Leith Hill environs.

I first heard about it when a reader (DanH) posted a link to the Get Surrey news report on the Muddymoles Facebook page about a mountain bike accident on Leith Hill.

On Tuesday Dirt magazine and others reported the accident proved to be fatal, which is devastating.

I didn’t know the guy involved, nor was I riding on Sunday, but it’s hard not to pause for a moment and reflect on how doing stuff you enjoy can go so wrong so quickly. Other Moles were out and about in the area, so I just wanted to say how sorry I am for the guy and his family and to wish our fellow riders (not just fellow Moles) well and hope everyone stays safe.
