    yes that`s the one,you can also park on the large grassy area opp` the layby.

    can any of you advise me on tyres? i`m using the bike to comute to work (only a mile across grass and tarmac) should i run two sets of tyres....one for work and one for off roading,i`m running on kendas 1.95`s, if you advise another set for off roading what do you sugest for round here/dalby? the choice of tyres on the net is mind blowing!!!!!! at least with road bike tyres the choice is easier.

    I think they should be alright, but for trails around you I'd run them at 35-40PSI to help with the rolling resistance.

    Alternatively if it was me I'd run Tubeless (if your rims would work with them) Racing Ralphs for the summer

    Then a Nobby Nick on the front as it gets a bit wetter then Nobby Nicks front and back in the winter.

    If you can't go tubeless then go for the none tubless versions, but just carry spare inner tubes and patches as RR's do suffer more than most from thorns.

    Another big help for you would be to use clipless pedals if you've not done so already

    Thats just 30secs away, has it recently changed hands? Cause there was a guy with ging hair used to own it i think, ain't seen him for ages, hence asking.

    now then, we'll see where my mate wants to ride when he gets back from his Holidays. Tempted to hit the new trail centre near Skipton to be honest, been to Dalby too many times. But as I say, we'll see.
