    he is taking the sustrans ride to hornsea as im doing the trans pennine that weekend.

    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.

    hey biggus, ...ross, the ginger haired bloke has emigrated to aus or new zealand somewhere. mike has taken over the business. he has been there for a year now.

    i run a lot along the b/w`s and paths around there and so i might be able to come up with a route (might have to double back a couple of times to avoid using f/p`s)

    pinacle paul there is not many good bridle ways near raywell worth going on
    most of the f/ps will be quiet
    to make it easier do you want to meet at skidby mill
    we can go from there

    first of all let me say" sorry" :cry: but i can`t make it now......as i said i`m a newby to mtb and ordered my shiney new bike which arrived a just over a week ago :D:D ....after spending a week trying to set it up i just kept feeling more stretched out on it then when on my road bike......measured it against my roadie and discovered the frame was larger then my trek....checked out the spec on net and found that they had sent me a large and not a medium (a difference of 1.5" :cry: ) straight on the phone to said dealer...told them what had happened and that i had ridden it every day and was told "not a problem and replacement bike will be with me in about 5 days" can you ask for better service?......john if you don`t mind riding with a roadie i would like to ride to skidby with you.

    Hi,

    I've just posted a topic myself on biking buddies around the hull/hessle area, to be honest i've not had chance to read through all the messages here so i'm not up to speed with what you do, i'm assuming some trail riding/XC stuff?

    I'm looking for a group/people who are up for biking over the weekends and maybe one evening a week? I'm into XC/trails/DH, i'm not brilliant but i'll give anything a go. I would say i'm relatively fit at the moment (go to the gym 2/3 a week, play squash and horse ride) so hopefully i'll be able to keep up!

    Please let me know what you're about and when you meet up etc and if you're willing for another person to tag along?

    Cheers!

    D .x.
