good ride out today on black hambleton/arden moor.....only part that was a let down was from locker low wood up locker bank back to arden moor....they are replacing the path due to the bad weather,and its a bit of a bog fest at mo,only thing to do was to laugh and joke about who had the best tyres on the way up...........got to the top to find one of the bikes had chain suck,then 10 mins riding later a puncture on same bike,then 15 mins later anouther puncture on a diff bike...still had a smile on our faces at the end tho

Giggsmaster

Looking at doing this route over the weekend if anyone is interested in joining up.

Don't know what day yet though, as it depends what weather site you look at, it could be raining either day. So, would be last minute thing on deciding which day.

Its some of the route we did last weekend, without the dodgy and very muddy climb our kid mentioned.

pete80

If you guys decide to do this ride on sunday I'll tag along as i'm at work Saturday

altern_8

sorry to say,we are going out saturday due to weather forecast for sunday.the next sunday ride will be 20 march and then be looking at 3 april(depending on weather),i might go for a blast round dalby on the 27 march,again depending on weather.

pete80

Ok no worries m8 I can deffo make sunday 20th.

Sundays weather does look a bit naff, might have to be a wet ride around Dalby.

altern_8

no worries mate,ill have a word with bro(giggsmaster),and try to post a route for 20 march at start of next week.

you might get away with not getting wet at dalby on sunday,but then again you know what the weather forecasters are like.

Like the look of this.What's the rest of the ride like?I'm just wondering if it's worth the drive from Sheffield/Warrington and Blackburn :?

Giggsmaster

There are a couple of rides we have done around the area, always taking in Black Hambleton. Starts off rocky then gets fast and smooth.

Good routes, but to get the decent DHs in you have to do abit of road in between. I would say they are worth coming over for, just don't expect anything like the Peaks

If you have a look at the routes posted above and on the last page, it should give you a good insight of what's on offer on Arden Moor, Black Hambleton and Boltby Forest.

Why don't you join up this weekend?

pete80

I'm deffo out for a play this sunday lads

As for the route i'll leave that for you to decide

bobs bikes

im gonna swap a couple of weekends round soon, so i will be playing out.

if anyone wants to do local runs thurs or fridays, let me know.

oh, got the bikes nearly done!

subtle, eh? :shock:

altern_8

my hand is up for the arden moor/boltby loop,fair enough its got a bit more road riding in it then we normally do,but hopefully the downhill we found last weekend will be worth it.


nice bikes stu,hopefully you will get the gt muddy

Weekend of mornings I'm on continental shifts now so I work 2 weekends out of the month

Giggsmaster

Pete.... Looks like it could be the Arden Moor loop, we normally start around 10am. The meeting point this week will be somewhere in Boltby, post proper details later this week.

Stu.... Think the Gt needs some real test out in the Moors or Dales mate, get that time off sorted.

Ibbo.... Shame about the work, let us know if you fancy a route over here sometime. I'm sure we will be in the Peaks, just as soon as the trails dry up abit. Can't do the Ladybower ride without doing WLT downhill.....

sniper68

Ay will do 8)
Looking on mapmyride(now I have my PC back)they're not far from me 8) I assumed they were right up in the far north of the moors for some reason :roll:

pete80

Giggs... Thats ok with me,just post up where the meeting place is & i'll see ya's there

sl2371

i'm off to evans on thursday so you never know i might come home with a bike 8)

pete80....we are starting at boltby,if you want to meet us there if you know how to get there mate,we will be there for about 9-30am,and start riding about 10am.

pete80

Altern8, Yeah i'll see ya's there.

Never been to Boltby before do we just park at roadside?

Dont want to be driving round looking for ya thats all...

Giggsmaster

Pete... We ain't started from Boltby before, so your guess is as good as ours...

If there ain't any obvious car parking then I think we will just stick it on the main through route

Barkey

what a load of bollocks today's ride was, I blame giggs.
