Bloody English weather! Spent 4 days in dalby and was only able to ride twice,
Today and Saturday. Really enjoyed Saturday as my new brakes & tires gave me great confidence to tackle the red route but today the trials were just to wet to be safe. Came off 3 times, all fairly slow and without major injury (I'd wager a better rider wouldn't have had any of them but still...)
For information maxxis high rollers grip like a tramp to his last can of special brew! Bit draggy on Tarmac but never once lost grip on wet rock climbs. Very confidence inspiring on the downs too.0 -

not like fastpaul's Rocket Rons then lol0 -
fewie,sorry to hear you didnt get in much riding
we had a nice ride in peaks today,myself/giggs/fastpaul and sandybean,considering all the rain that has fallen i didnt think the route was to bad for water and mud,much drier then i thought it would be......
paul hope youre "scratches" didnt sting to much in bath,flat pedals next time,leave the cleats at home for when youre racing
.....
sandy,hope youre legs havent told you to stop just yet,and nice to meet you today,then again it wasnt raining
think we might have to downgrade route to a medium instead of a hard route 8)0 -
Fewie..... Not too good about the weather. We had the same on Friday, but we were out in it on the Yorkshire Dales. Not a nice place to be when the weather is like that. Sounds like you are pleased with your new tyres.
Barkey, I think you could be right about fastpauls tyres, he was loving his grip today....
Had a good ride out in the Peaks, the Sun was great to see for once, all good fun was had.
Couple of pics from today.
Not a good pic of you there Sandy, I had a better one but I couldn't show you walking.... 0 -

Hey guys,
Don't change the routes to mediums, I had a fab time, I like being pushed but my legs were aching from Saturday and Sundays riding!. Also I love the pic, it looks like i'm whizzing past! Got my bike to clean tomorrow.
Thanks again and keep posting!0 -
i cleaned my bike today,i didnt realise how muddy it was,took me about a hour,noticed one of my jockey wheels no longer has any teeth on it,so thats the next thing ill have to replace at some point.
dont know if it was all the stopping and talking we did sandy,but the route we did normally feels harder then it was for me.
dont know if giggsmaster is working or not on thursday,but ill prob go out for a ride on moors,anyone else free on thursday?
edit:or i can go out friday,if it means not riding alone :oops:0 -
I can't on Thursday, i'm working. Have fun!0

try superstar in future mate for pads,they are cheap and you can return them if youre not happy.
right im now looking at going out saturday for a ride for deff,as i will be home alone,anyone else up for the incline?0 -
I might be depends on if all my new bits and bobs turn up tomorrow or not.0
-
no worries mate,give us a shout if you can make it,dont know if ill make it all the way up the incline tho.0
-
looking like all my stuff not turned up, still need to strip the headset down and re grease it, I have to say elixir brake pads are so easy to changed compared to juicy.0
-
sorry for short notice,ive decided against going on moors by myself on saturday......im going to go for a blast around dalby instead on sunday,not sure if ill be doing full red route or just the world cup course and back end of red route,with some bits thrown in that arnt on the red route maps,if anyone wants to meet up?0
-
I've done the red route a number of times but never done the world cup course so I would be well up for that mate if ya fancy it?
What time you planning on getting there for?If ya aint 1st, yer last!!!0 -
i can get there any time from 11am onwards(so whatever time),as ill have family in tow with me,they are going to take dog for a walk and go to play area at visitors centre.
prob start at dixons hollow car park,do world cup course upto medusa drop,then do back end of red route and some bits that arnt on the "red route map",drop back into worry gill "on old red route",and finish off on last bit of world cup course,prob looking at about 1and half-2 hours at the speed i go 0 -
Sounds good...
So what time do you want to meet at Dixons Hollow? I dont mind what time we start I'll just fit in with youself.If ya aint 1st, yer last!!!0 -

did i miss you mate,i got there just after 12 and waited around till 1pm,there was some race going on and looked like demo rides as well ......i did 19 miles in 2 hours,didnt do much of the world cup course,its started to wear away a lot in places,did back end of red route including the north shore and bits of the old red route,headed back up fire road along side world cup course from worry gill and then took red route all the way back to visitors centre.made a change from riding the moors/peaks.0 -
yeah was abit of a nightmare to be honest. Got there at bout 11.30ish & waited till roughly 12.10. I had a good look around the car par before I left & could not see your car & had no signal on my crappy Iphone to give you a ring. Then went to ride the red route only to be told by a marshall that it was closed for another 45mins cos of the triathalon. So I ended up doing some of the green/blue & red route.
Sorry i missed you mate I'll have to get out on one of your rides but they tend to be during the week & i work 9-5 monday to friday If ya aint 1st, yer last!!!0 -
i got there about 12-15 mate,got stuck behind a tractor on way,i must have just missed you at car park.....we only tend to go out during week as every other saturday we are at football and depending on when best day is for weather.....deff sort something out over next month for a ride on a saturday/sunday so you can join us mate.0

looking at doing the gunnerside ride in dales again which we attempted a couple of weeks back,hopefully the weather will be better this time round...if anyones free this saturday?
