    From Corkickle area. You're right next to Dent! One of my favorite riding spots. Ennerdale is good, but quite restricted.

    Yeah used to spend alot of time on dent, Ennerdale is not bad but when you hit the back of the lake its all carrying really, once i get my fitness up a bit there is about 4 of us going up to Glentress if you want a run up with us, all the other lads are like racing whippets so only me needing a bit of work on my fitness as i've been out of the biking for a while.

    I'm Lakes based, there is a new event March 2009!

    www.whinlatterchallenge.co.uk it's on the 29th, 30 mile loop XC, should be good and fairly local for you!

    There will also be a 24 hour race taking place on 16 May in Whinlatter if your mates fancy doing a team of 4 it is a good laugh!
