    Hi there. I live in Sheffield and could join up with you if your about. Me and a friend have been up dalby alot. We also ride alot around hope edale castleton etc. Drop me a line to sort a ride out. P.s. We don't fly about at 100 mph though it's usually steady.

    Cheers, pat

    Keep an eye out, I think I'm correct in saying me and Altern were talking yesterday about a ride around Dalby inbetween Christmas and New Year. What with all the snow, it might be the best place to ride since alot of it is under trees.

    Think I'm getting too lazy, can't be bothered to clean the bike yet so ended up at the gym. Though I was tempted when I took the dogs out and found the trails to be nice and solid....

    as above what giggs has said,we also ride hope,edale,castleton area when we head over to peaks,normally do diff versions of ladybower route,giggs is normally 100mph downhill,where im shall we say,steady,or if i was a horse,id be slow,always wait for each other tho at top of climbs and at bottom.

    a happy new year to all.

    hopefully,looking at going out for a ride on the moors on the 16th of jan or the weekend of the 22nd,will be sticking mostly to the main tracks up on the moors,as it will be boggy off piste at the moment,will be a nice slow gentle ride as aint been out on bike for near on 2 months.

    hi and welcome daz,local ride for us is round brantingham,we use footpaths and bridleways round there,can be anywhere from 15 miles upto 20 miles depending on what route we do......if we go out futher,we ride north york moors/peaks/yorkshire dales and sometimes pop upto dalby,best thing to do is keep a eye on this thread for future rides,i normally change the main title to when and where we are going.

    Hi and welcome.

    A few of us do a route around Brantingham area. Some of the route uses footpaths, so if you are considerate to the walking population then there is no problem. We use it often during the year with no trouble.

    Here is the route.

    If you keep an eye out I'm sure there will be a few rides sorted soon once this weather has calmed down.

    EDIT: ^^^^^^^ OK, so you was posting at the same time I was typing.....

    If you look at the North part of the ride, near the Seatoller. Then down to Stonethwaite Fell.

    Well thats the bit we did on the C2C, except we went straight over Greenup Edge.... Only took us 1hr 30mins to carry the bikes over that little baby.... :cry:

    Looks a nice ride though, warm up to the WHW....?

    we look at starting rides round about 9-10am,and can be out for 3-6 hours riding depending what route we do..........we do anything from 15-25 miles on moors/peaks/dales,we aint been out for a couple of months,so will prob be looking at round the 15 mile mark for first couple of rides,build the fitness back up and then look at extending it,we always wait at top of climbs/bottom of descents,never leave anyone behind.

    the WHW is the west highland way up in scotland,90+ miles,we are looking at doing it in may,so we need to get out to build up for it.

    no worries mate,it was very muddy in places,the climb up through the woods from the a63 wasnt to bad,but the climb past the cement works was awfull.....and the edge of the farmers field to melton wold farm wasnt to good either,the rest was good considering weather we have had......think we are looking at going upto the moors next weekend.

    Aye, it were a bit muddy, but at least most of it were sticky mud and not slushy mud...

    By looking at this post, we might have to change to the Peaks for next week. Unless you want to do more of the pushing we did on the Moors this time last year..... :?

    We were on Cutgate last night and it's a mudbath.Whinstone Lee Tor and the stuff up to the Roman road(Ladybower)are also very very muddy :roll:

    .......That's why we're off to the Lakes next weekend :D

    if you have a look on "is dalby open" on routes,seems as tho the moors is rideable,apart from the bit they did at cropton forest and tarmac to levisham station.

    Usually but it was far worse than normal.It also didn't help that it was dark and we were trudging up into a 60mph headwind with 80mph gusts :lol:
    We actually managed a couple of bone-dry dusty rides on Cutgate last year.......the first time since about 2006 :roll:
    Whinstone Lee Tor is as bad as I've ever seen it.They're logging in the woods up Wooler Knoll so the trails are a mess in there as well.

    myself and giggsmaster managed a bone dry ride last year as well at cutgate,it was good to actually get some speed up on the top,rather then trying to pick a line through the bog that is normally up there :)
