Hi.

I've heard more complaints about the on one hundred then good reports. Most of the route was fire/tarmac road wasn't it? Didn't do it myself as I was working but didn't fancy paying £40 to ride otherwise free trails anyway.

Whats the plan for this fridays ride? and is anyone welcome. Maybe free and able to have my first ride with you guys.

majik.

Hi magpie316,

Yea it was a bit of a joke,seeing as purple mountain where involved you would of thought we would of done more red route in dalby its self,rather then riding next to it on a fire road :roll:

Ride this friday will be up on moors,either starting at Cockayne or The lion inn,not sure what time yet,ill know more after tonight as im seeing Giggsmaster.

altern_8

Due to myself and giggs having abit to drink tonight, we are doing the local route tomorrow. Setting off from kingswood about 11ish, with 33 mile in total. Anyone free to join.....

Barkey

giggs could you pm me your email i would like to send you some to try out on your pc see if that helps.

Giggsmaster

Pm'd.....

Anyone out and about this weekend?
Been a couple of weeks since i was last out.Hopefully ill be out with Giggs doing a local route 2mor,as long as it aint raining

Highy

Not been out since we did Black Hambleton, did Snowdon race the same day you fellas did the Dalby event (have you heard anything back from that yet - I've spoken to a few folks about it - not much positive!). My heels have about recovered from the race - hoping to get out this week or next weekend if anybody's out?

jon1993

Haha I went when that enduro race was on and let's face it some want exactly racing we went flying past a good 10 to 15 of them on a casual ride where they met the black trail for a bit but Yeh the race did look like it sucked a bit after we finished and went to have a look at the route was it really all like paths and stone roads we was confused if we was following the right path might aswell have had a cyclocross bike lol

If you mean at Dalby,it wasnt a race jon,it was a endurance event.....it was more youreself against the clock,rather then racing against other ppl.It was a lot of double track and fireroads tho,when they could of used more singletrack.....we have said never again 8)

OOps, just prompted you to post up here on your other thread, should have looked here first :oops: Never mind, Stu or one of the guys will be along soon to sort you out.

PS Hi guys, old boy Steve here still alive and kicking, must get over for one of your rides again soon....

Callum88

I'm hoping to get out this weekend, just bought a new frame and a tonne of other bits to upgrade, should hopefully be built by Friday so looking for any excuse to get out on it. Did the local route a couple of times since I was last first shown, got pretty lost the first time, ruined all my hard work climbing by taking the wrong left which took me on a 30mph road d/h to triton inn... Gutted. Had a bit more success on sunday tho.

Jon, how do u get involved with this 'cyclopaths'?

jon1993

go onto the website type in google hull thursdays road club (HTRC) then theres a section on that called the cyclopaths i just looked for hull mtb clubs as i wanted to get involved as a sport just like you, theres a link on that website which is a form you have to fill in and send of with a small amount of money then keep an eye on the website to see where the rides are at what time ect its a bit nerve racking at 1st they have really nice bikes and when i went there was a hell of alot of them sometimes upto 40 generally less though but dontr be put of there great lads and not as fast as you think they will be

altern_8

Sorry i aint been in touch with you all for a while,had a death in the family so been tied up in sorting things out .

So now,hopefully ill try to get something sorted out for this saturday,local or further out.

Hi and welcome ozonerider,there is a local route out towards Brantingham that is good for getting a few miles in youre legs,ill try to find a link to the route.

The best thing to do,is to post up on here if you are going out youreself,or just keep a eye out for rides,myself/giggsmaster/sl2371 and barkey normally get out further a field on a weekend,the local ride is normally at short notice during the week,hope that helps out a bit.


Now then Steve,long time no see hows things with you?

tubaonwheels

Sound Stu, joined Bad Brains MBC after riding out with you guys, so doing plenty of club rides and the odd weekend epic. Will def try and get over for one of your weekend do's soon. Also we could maybe join up for a peaks ride when our crew next goes that way?
Riding is a bit better now I've got a decent bike, though I'm still a bit of a nancy on gnarly downhill stuff - but not bothered

altern_8

Glad to see her indoors is still letting you get out and about Steve
And be good to catch up with you on a ride,you will have to give us a shout when youre crew is out in the peaks......as long as you dont mind waiting for us still ,aint been out for 2 weeks,so looking at trying to get out on saturday,even if its just a local ride.

Highy

Not going to get out for a spin at the weekend, had a bit of a do with a car that emergency stopped in front of me on my way to work, reckon I'll be off the bike for a couple of weeks.
Have a good un.

altern_8

Sorry to hear that Highy,hope you arnt to badly injured....swift recovery to you mate.

jon1993

could be worse i was driving 5 weeks and flipped my car on its roof the other week trashed it buttttt on the upside im selling the engine and small amount of parts to get a better bike since only 3rd party lol!

tubaonwheels

Well, not trying to go one up or owt... but....
Back in May I got knocked down by a 3ton tipper truck at work - knocked me down then ran over my leg/ankle! Not worked since, miraculously no bones broken but ligaments etc well fooked.
Good news is - after 3 weeks on crutches I was back on bike and able to ride ok. Still having physio and getting lot better.
Hope the claim comes through eventually :roll:

altern_8

I once broke my finger nail while changing a tyre if that counts

Hope youre back to work soon Steve,nice to see you got youre priorities right tho,by getting back on the bike first


Going to go out for a local ride with Giggs 2mor,starting from kingswood,and see how far we get,as we aint been out for 3 weeks.

jon1993

not sure that tops mine hummmmmmmm debateable well i guess im fine so i guess you win lol have to wait till i get my new bike till i can do any more mountain biking as i blew my cheepo £500 bike up over a jump in dalby haha new boardman pro for me in the next fue weeks XD crappy halfords! ok to join you after then ?
well if its before the 10th when i get it as going up to scotland going to go try fort william, wolftrax, great glen way some other ones with very long names for a week haha

and where abouts do you go from kingswood

altern_8

jon1993 we start off near Asda on kingswood,its nothing special the route we do,a mixture of footpaths/bridleways/tracks and road which takes you to Brantingham............
Depending on what route you do once youre at Brantingham,it can be anywhere from 24-33miles.

jon1993

thats fine sounds good to me be nice to go out with a fue new people just have to wait for my new bike shouldnt be to long now though a week or two at the most ill give you a message when i get the bike sorted

altern_8

Just a heads up on next planned ride........if anyone can make it looking at the 28th august,more details to follow.

Giggsmaster

I'm thinking the Dales, if the weather is good....

Nice easy 13 miler around Gunnerside Gill..... :oops:

altern_8

That sounds good to me Giggs,see if we can make it up them hills,and try to find the path down to Gunnerside gill this time rather then the hike a bike
