    Not to sure on a start time at the moment will know 2mor.As for a start point,we will be leaving Kingswood and heading into town via the old Hornsea railway track and onto Marina,then follow the TPT(footpath) to St Andrews Quay/Hessle foreshore/Humber bridge then onto Nth Ferriby,so i suppose we could meet you at what ever point is closest for you?

    No worries about confirm monday night,and glad you enjoyed the ride yesterday......thats one of the hardest rides we do on the moors as in climbs being close together,and the descents arnt to bad either :)

    I'll try and get a pass out and meet up around the foreshore area. Let me know a rough time you'll be passing the foreshore.

    Cheers

    i might come and play on tuesday. :)

    altern.... dont follow the tpt from the marina. go down wellington street and english street till you meet clive sulivan way. tanke the path left and under the spiral bridge. this track will drop you through the gate and behind the lord line building, where you can pass through to st andrews quay. it will save you carrying the bikes over the warehouses on the walking route.

    i did a little 90 miler on the tpt yesterday. led a group doing a charity ride from craven park to selby and came back again.... they were heading for barnsley last night! :shock:

    Sweet, sounds good to me, hopefully the weather will pick up a bit, being up on the moors in yesterdays rain would not be fun!

    Youre not wrong about the weather,hence waiting till middle of the week,plus Giggs needs to try and shuffle a few things about.We did 38 miles today heading east out of Hull,nothing to hard,but it wouldnt be everyones cup of tea tho as a lot of it was footpaths/roads/cycle tracks with a bit of river bank thrown in.

    Regarding biking at the weekend, it looks like Friday and Saturday are being washouts..... So, I think we are aiming for a ride on Sunday up on the Moors. We have got something planned in the morning, so it will be mid afternoon time, around 2ish (time to be confirmed, later in week) at the usual meeting point above Cockayne.

    Looking at taking in the 'Incline', with a route of 15-25 miles. It all depends on how the terrain is looking after the downpours of the previous days and whether we take in any singletrack or which route we take. All will be decided on-route.... :wink:

    Hi. Did u guys get out last week? weather was a bit bleak but managed to get out Thursday for a jolly over the bridge.

    Planning a ride out tom if any one is interested? Just going from east hull to north ferriby, then up thro to bev, via welton, skidby etc. Then doubling back thro to cot from bev. Just short of 40 miles i think.

    Looks a nice day for it :D

    Nah,we didnt get out on Sunday,someone was a bit hungover,and it wasnt me for a change :lol:

    Myself and Giggs went out yesterday,we would of posted on here but it was a phone call at 10am and out a hour later,so a bit to short notice,we went from Kingswood-Anlaby-Kirk Ella-Nut Wood(which was a bit of a bog fest)-Wauldby Manor Farm-Riplingham-Beverley(long lane)-Kingswood,30 miles in total.

    As for 2mor mate,we are looking at maybe,and thats a big maybe,going up onto the moors late afternoon/teatime,depending on weather which as you say looks good,and also how much beer is consumed tonight watching the footie. :oops:


    On anouther note if anyone is interested,THIS is on,might be worth going to watch,im 50/50 at the moment.

    Did a route on the North Yorks Moors last night on my lonesome. Our kid had a dodgy leg, so didn't want to inflict any more damage.

    Set off from Chop Gate at around 6pm, got back to the car about 8.30pm. Think it was 16 mile in total, 2hrs 2mins ride time. Good couple of descents and some nice climbs to be had around Snilesworth Moor, Bilsdale West Moor and Busby Moor. Finished with a hike-a-bike up on to Cold Moor before the long DH back to car park.

    Surprising how dry it was up there, until a very boggy section on the last DH....

    Sounds like you guys had a couple of decent rides, never done that route on the moors tho giggs. i havnt been up there or any where out of this area for a while as without transport at the mo, plus im just getting back into biking.

    Finding myself becoming a fair weather rider, must be the age, but need to get out of that, i used to be out in all weathers lol

    Hopefully gonna get out this weekend some time :)

    hi guys i'm doing from riccall to hull on thursday
    a friend of mine is doing the coast to coast so i'm gonna go and meet him and do that leg of the ride with him

    gigs the weather we had last week would have been a right night mare for doing the coast to coast :roll:

    Your not wrong Si, I was just saying to our lass over the weekend that it would have been a right bogfest for the C2C last week...

    Blessing in disguise your dodgy back... :wink:

    Did you say you were joining us on the WHW in September?

    Giggs and sl2371(Si) where going to do the C2C last week mate,but had to cancel due to sl2371(Si) doing his back in.

    Giggs did the St bees-Robin Hoods Bay C2C last year.

    We was talking about doing the Hadrians wall C2C at some point but only doing Carlisle-Tynemouth/South shields in a day for charity,as its about 70 miles instead of the full 174 miles,but not got round to it.We have also been talking about having a go at the Yorkshire Wolds route from Hessle-Filey,again we was maybe looking at doing it in a day for charity,or as a warm up ride for Giggs 2nd attempt at the WHW.

    Looks like the weather is going to be rubbish for this weekend,even so im going to have to get out on the bike at some point.

    Aye, like our kid says, we were suppose to do it last week. Glad we didn't now though, would have been a right nightmare...

    The route we did last time went through the Lakes, Dales and Moors. Some rough terrain, but very rewarding when you finished it. Though, in parts there were quite a bit of road riding, along with some reet boggy sections.

    So, I mapped out our own route this time, as we know our way around the Dales and Moors. Taking away most of the road sections and riding on well known tracks.

    I think we are doing the WHW around 20 September, over 4 days.
