    See you all at about 10am then! Also got round to replacing my disk pads today... lol

    did wonder why my rear brake felt alittle lifeless!

    I think you can safely say they are worn....

    We will be there defo at 0930 on the dot.

    Just had another look at the map and found a ascent what I have done before. It is a proper bike on back hike, I'm sure our kid will vouch for that, then again he prob can't remember.

    The bridleway disappeared halfway up the hill, its the one from Lane House onto Hawnby Moor. Takes about 10min of hiking.... :cry:

    Also, can we not go up the footpath via the side of the wood? or if not we could head up on the road then come back on the bridleway onto Sunley Slack?

    FIrstly, i'd like to say im sorry about the route today everyone. It was abit of a bloody nightmare! Not to mention im now pretty knacked. However it was a great laugh and had lots of fun, even the bits of solo riding! Need to work on my fitness again and also get that chain sorted out.

    Heres the pics from todays madness!

    The singletrack from the Boundary stones down into Arnsgill Ridge, it was pretty technical in places.

    Thanks for the ride today boys!! However gruelling it was, it was still a super day! :D Will certainly sleep well tonight. I've got silly tan marks where my gloves and watch where!! Where they tan marks from your socks giggsmaster? Or was just dirt!

    I really need to get my back brake checked out so if anyone can recomend somewhere decent to get it sorted?? :lol:

    Aye good ride out today people. Still enjoyed route even though it did turn out to be 7 mile longer than it should have been....

    I am feeling abit tired now, don't worry Matt you can have another try at a route in maybe a few years time.... Luckily them marks around my sock line was just dust and not a nice tan line... :lol:

    Here are a few pics from today, the rest are in the Moors section on Photobucket.

    Hope you're ok! Yes you'll have to get out with us again soon, i'Il want to beg a go on your bike! He he!

    Just rang freetown to see if they could check out my brake, they said they could look at it but couldn't do any servicing until 15th September!! Meh!! Think I may have a go at bleeding it as it might have got air into it after is snapped out, and have a look at the pads too. Or I may just give up and get a new bike that I keep going on about!! :lol:

    It twas a good ride, but you would have needed your brand spanking new Fiveo.... The DH's might have been abit ropey on your HT.

    So, what happened to you on your board then?
