    Good luck dude, didnt know you had a shop on bev road, where abouts?

    I remember when you were on prinny ave though, i was sposed to have my work experience there years ago but some other lad tipped up a few weeks early for his and i was told to bugger off lol

    yeah, my dad bought it off bob about 10 years ago, built it from there. i wish i was still at prinny ave.... that shop was huge!... was gonna live above it until me dad sold the building for 10 times what he payed for it.... :cry:

    .....still, we are at schofields old shop on de grey street corner... for now. just looking at bigger and better shops now.

    anyways, if im back by wed, is anyone off out from the humber bridge again?




    also, anyone local on sunday. meet at my shop 9 am. there is a family ride to hornsea with the sustrans rangers if anyone wants to go. its a nice easy flat 30 miler.
    should be home by 3pm, after fish and chips.

    I ain't had a look at the OS Map yet, but how about trying to incorporate the best of both routes and use more of both Moors into a smaller mileage.

    You have more knowledge of the Moors further up north than I do, so up to you mate. Since I chose the last 2 routes I suppose I best give you a free reign on this one.... :wink:

    Just make sure them DH's are class....

    This could be better, www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php?id=17809
    Starts at Chop Gate again, but heads west, in a loop, crosses the road just before Chop Gate, then heads on the other side, near Cockanye, down into Tripsdale, then the final descent is the same as the one from the last Moors route (down to Bilsdale Hall, off Urra Moor)

    17mile route.

    We will only be doing the blue as he is less skilled than me, he gave up biking a longer time ago than i did and hasnt been back on a bike properly since, so ive suggested we do the blue then to dixons hollow for a blast and so i can have a third attempt at fully clearing the skinnies then possibly another go on the blue route, shame though as i did the black last sunday and i dearly wanna go again now ive got better grippier tyres and a lid lol

    Depending what days youre going to do your night rides of dalby i could/will be interested in tagging along if you will have me?

    Didnt realise Dalby had a dedicated blue route, till i checked the map after you said! He might find it a bit more exciting to do the red route though? I know a good route around that takes in the good downhill and fast single track sections with a bit of black to boot and cuts out some of the more tiresome climbs.

    I will be heading to Dalby tomorrow morning for about 10.

    This is the route highlighted below

    I was up there today for a walk around with the other half and the two dogs. We walked up to Carr Ridge and had bit of a picnic. It was very cold and windy, so bring your long johns tomorrow..... :wink:

    It took me around 1hr 45mins, with a bit of Sunday driving. I will be picking our kid up around 7.30am, with a trip to Mcds on the way.
