Hello mate, we usually grab a couple of hours on a sat or sun morning in Sandall Beat woods cos its local. Will be going to the pines between xmas and new year. Will be doing the steetly quarry etc soon.

We both ride Specialized, mines a stumpy, and my freind has a hopper. Contact us if you wish.

Just resurrected this thread to say that if you fancy something more challenging than Sandal beat wood (I ride sandal beat regularly), come to Steetley quarry on Sat or Sun if you don't already.
Recently there has been some good trail development in the woods, usually some 20-30 riders if it's fair weather.
There is also the quarry itself which is freeride heaven.

how many miles can you do in the woods mate,from hull and always looking at new areas to ride,mainly do dalby/moors/peaks and dales?????

tompug

The trails are fairly short, about 1 mile long. They are really for dh/freeriders due to the steep and rocky terrain.

Hey! Didn't realize people had been replying to this topic! I was at Steetly last Tuesday for about 3 hours and loved it! I'll be going there as regular as possible now the weathers getting better, if anybody else wants to meet up there send me a message on here!

I'm 25, live in Bentley, average to good fitness levels and ride a custom built GT Avalanche Expert!

AaronJ

i head up there all the time to ride the trails in the wood near the quarry. i start at the rowing club at hexthorpe park.

i am 25 average fitness (i think) and ride a specialized fsc xc comp.

Dont mind meeting up for a ride.

tompug

Me and my bro are at Steetley most Sundays and the odd Saturday. See the link in my sig for some recent snaps.

darrenc

I also go up there fairly regularly so if it's an open invite please count me in!!!

I live in cusworth so go down the TPT passed the boat inn (unless temptation gets the better of me especially on a Sunday afternoon!!) up and over the old railway viaduct and back down through the quarry / woods and out at the hairpin

you'd have to go easy though as i'm wrong side of 35 and not very fit

Hi darren and tompug.

If we can i think we should get this ride organised one weekend as i am getting fed up of goin solo with an ipod.

Im thinking possibly going up there this saturday morning.

this is an open initation to the mountain bike riders of doncaster.

cheers.

JayKingFunk

Tompug those photos look excellent! I don't think I've got the balls to try some of the stuff you do!

I'm going this friday about 12ish for a few hours if anyones up for it? I go down the tpt past boat inn too! I'm stuck next few weekends but will be up for meeting you guys from the middle of April when they free up!

Would you lot be interested in meeting up for a pint somewhere soon so we can all meet and chat to see whens good for everyone to meet?? I'd like to do a regular ride on an evening now its getting lighter???

Let me know, J

AaronJ

Sounds like a plan to me if eveyone is up for a pint.

How about boat inn for apint since its near the trails and we all know where it is.

JayKingFunk

Ok hows Tuesday night next week for everyone at the boat in sound?!

J

AaronJ

tuesday is fine by me if everyone can make it. what time is everyone thinking

darrenc

Tuesday sounds good to me too. I suppose it depends on everyone elses work times but I finish at 5(ish) so dependent on mode of transport (bike or car) i can be at boat inn from work in anything between 10mins and half an hour. Might go on the bike on Tuesday for first time this year as clocks will have altered.



look forward to meeting you guys some time tuesday evening



Darren

AaronJ

JayKingFunk

I might be paying a visit to steetly tomorrow afternoon as I finish at 3 tomorrow so would be there around 4 from work!

J

JayKingFunk

AaronJ

JayKingFunk

I don't know if anyone would be interested, but there will be a DH race held at Steetley on Sunday at 11am. £2 entry, beer and trophies if you win.

I also spoke to a guy called Niel if I remember correctly who posts on here. Nice to meet a fellow bike radar user. 8)
