Well, I don't whether I will make the ride.... I'm finding it difficult to walk in a straight line. My leg is painful to say the least, big bruise is spreading over the top of the leg....

Still enjoyed the ride though. I like the pic just before I bailed. Might take it easy on the next few descents...

Now the Stu, looked like a great nights ride from what i've seen in Barkeys pics. Nice pics mate, love the light! Unfortunately I was abit messed about by the repair guy, who was abit moody as well... I got a text from some friends over Guisborough way just after i'd finished texting you, so i spent Thursday night out in Guisborough forest doing the black route and alot of hidden trails, lots of fun. Did include some nice jumps and drops. (the forks still work too! lol)

Added you to my contact list on Flickr, Barkey. Hope you don't mind.

This is the route we did a week last Thursday night too www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php?id=11299

Alot of fun, theres a great gully run as you head away from Roseberry topping too.

We should sort out a ride soon lads, im back working now so my free days are Monday pm/evening, all day tuesday, all day thursday and all day Sunday.

Er.... No I didn't. It was me again who came off, it was abit further up this time. Took most of the descent pretty good, but at the last moment just as I was saying to Barkey I need some more travel I hit a gulley. Coming back down on my bars with them hitting top of leg and missing my crown jewels by a whisker.

Biggus86

If you dnt mind I'll tag along tomorow (thats if my bikes ready, taking it to Freetown for service).

Anyone know of a price for a fork service, because my forks are clunking at the 130-140 mark and its not under the warrenty (or any crash for that matter).

Giggs> Where abouts on the moors is that?

Barkey

around £80 for a stranded service check out TF Tuned for a better idea.

I'll Pm you my mobile number, so you can let us know if you can make it.

Biggus86

cheers, having a look now. Yeah, well hopefully it'll be a quick service, n i can get out of town quickish.

The forks are sound at 120, but take them up further then they start moaning.

Hi, just joined up today and was happy to see 'hull' mentioned after a few minutes of looking around (this doesn't happen very much)
Im from Market Weighton but used to live in South Cave, iv only just got back into mtb after a good 6/7/8 year dark patch.
Iv nearly finished building my new bike and was wondering if anyone new of any rides around Market Weighton way that i could have a blast around on a week night without having to drive any where??

Barkey

I don't really know much about your area (I get up to South Cave) but you should be able to find some thing with Bike Hike

MarkEo

Cheers Barkey i'll check it out

MattHarper

Wouldn't mind doing this route on the Moors, starting at Danby again, if anyones interested?
