hull and surrounding area....

Not a bad route that Midge,im looking at heading over that way in morning but do the route the other way round with a couple of bits slightly different.

midgehulluk

Yeah it was a good ride, perfect day for it. Want to try and plan a longer ride without doing the same bit twice. If you can post a link with your route would be appreciated so i can see any new routes i don't know and maybe add them to my next ride. Hope the weather is good for you tomorrow.

altern_8

I aint been out that distance much this year so ill see how i feel once i get over to Wauldby farm(ive always wondered how much the house is going for opposite the church,and it near my budget at £950,000,ha,ha,i wish),so my route may be short or the full route we do,ill try to post it for you.

altern_8

So has anyone being doing anything then,ive been trying to get out every second day at the moment due to the nice weather,and managed to put in 155 miles over the last 2 weeks.....Off upto the Dales on Friday to camp over ready for the Tour De France on Saturday and hopefully fit in a ride while we are over there.

Midge>check youre inbox as ive sent you 2 links for rides over to Brantingham ive done,hopefully give you a idea of what you can do over that way,and routes back.

notxalckram

Not done much since last weekend. Hoping to get out this weekend if anyone's up for it.

Barkey

went for a local ride on Saturday got 5 punctures, Saturday night ordered some Stans sealant and valves just done the front wheel holding it pressure for over an hour now after the initial gunk coming out of all the holes.

I will do the rear wheel tomorrow, lets see how it does next ride.

altern_8

Have they started to cut the local Paths/Bridleways then Barkey due to you getting punctures.......as i was over there last week and it was very overgrown.

midgehulluk

I was out sunday and They have cut some bridle ways down but not alot of them, they have done near skidby mill.

Barkey

altern_8

No worries Barkey,at the moment it looks like its going to be warm tomorrow.Have a look at weather tonight at 7pm and make a decision then if thats ok with you?

notxalckram

I'd join you both but its my girlfriends first saturday off in 6-7 weeks and i'll lose my head if I don't spend it with her hah.

On another note, any recommendations on tyres that don't cost an arm and leg?

Barkey

Hi Guys,
my Name is Sebastian. I live in Germany, but i go to Hull for one Semester from October 2014 until February 2015. I am glad to find some bikers from the hull area. Maybe you can help me. Do you think its worth to take my MTB with me for this period? I'm not sure because it's the autumn and winter season. But what do you think? Are there some (small) Hills in the area?

Thank you very much
Sebastian

altern_8

Barkey im following you on Strava if you want to add me as well.

Sebbel85>>>The local routes can get very muddy during the winter,dont expect big mountains or hills tho as its very flat around Hull.

notxalckram

Hi guys,
