its up to you simon if you want to pay the £35 and enter still,im ok with it.
as for ride this friday,ill have to get back to you,as ive pulled a muscle in my shoulder,so ill see how it is 2mor,plus ive got to swap my rear cassette over from my dale to my scott yet :roll:0 -
I've just looked at the 50km map and it doesn't look too bad. Bit of the World Cup course then some nice doubletrack on the Moors, with bit of the Red Route to finish off with.
Count me in....
Let me know what day you are signing up and I'll do it on the same day.
Done a few rides on road, aiming to be off road by the end of June. Can't believe how skinny my left leg is now compared to my right...!0 -
i will do it friday will text you when i do0

anyone else fancy having a go at this towards the end of summer,would be a very long day out tho including driving there/the ride/then driving back.......26 miles and anywhere from 4-7 hours for the ride.

The Three Passes 8) We were suppose to do this a couple of weeks back but changed ride en-route due to conditions :roll: You can shorten it a bit and get it down to 21 miles by starting in Kentmere.I know some very fit riders who took over 5 hours and have heard of riders taking as long as 9 hours :shock: The climb from Haweswater up to the head of the Nan-Bield pass is for 95% of riders a long push/carry.altern_8 wrote:anyone else fancy having a go at this towards the end of summer,would be a very long day out tho including driving there/the ride/then driving back.......26 miles and anywhere from 4-7 hours for the ride.

We're there for a week in September and will probably give it a go if the weather is kind.0 -
Ive been told by someone who did the ride in january,to do....staveley-gatesgarth-nan bield-staveley...which would take about 6hrs for that bit,and would save on a epic car journey and give us a 4km descent.
And if we add the extra 10miles round the back of Garburn aswell then we would be talking 8hrs n brutal. :shock:
Hopefully will be looking at doing it end of august/start of september,i had a look at B+B's last night for the first weekend in september and they where expensive.0 -
They're expensive all year.Four of us usually rent a caravan in Keswick for £280 Weds-Sat.This year we have a 4 bed flat for £350 8) For 1-nighters we usually camp,although we regularly do day rides but I'm a bit closer than youaltern_8 wrote:Ive been told by someone who did the ride in january,to do....staveley-gatesgarth-nan bield-staveley...which would take about 6hrs for that bit,and would save on a epic car journey and give us a 4km descent.

From people I know who've ridden it they start do Garburn-Gatesgarth-Nan Bield.The Garburn loop can be done either way but it always seems to be Gatesgarth-Nan Bield.We were chatting in Bike Treks in Ambleside and they do the ride this way also.The ride can be done from Windermere,Ambleside,Staveley or Kentmere with loads of accomodation options in the bigger towns.0 -
Yep you are a bit closer then us
Hull-Staveley is 2 hours 45 mins for us,anything further and youre looking at over the 3 hour 10 min mark.
I suppose i need to have a look into this a bit more,and all the diff ways you can do it,just dont really fancy the Nan-Bield hike-a-bike near the end,but its suppose to be well worth it. 0 -
Everyone under-estimates how tough this ride is.A lot of people just do the two passes,Gategarth-Nan Bield and miss out Garburn.I know people who've done this purely because they were fecked and didn't fancy Garburn after the first 2 8)
Link HERE For the two passes with photos
Hover over the photos and it tells you where they are 8)0 -
well after looking at the picture defo count me in it 8)
just had a little blast around dalby tonight it was really good being the only one out there0 -
Thats where ive been told to start on the linky,love the pic of the descent from Nan Bield,looks like something from the alps.
Had a word with giggsmaster tonight about it,and looks like it will be towards end of september for us to have a go at this.hopefully might be able to sort out some digs as well.sl2371 wrote:well after looking at the picture defo count me in it 8)

If you want cheap accom, try the YHA, yeah you have to share dorms but it can be as cheap as £12 a night with a contribution for breakfast (usually a couple a quid) ambleside has a private hikers lodge that is very good. I'll try n dig out a link and post later

As long as i can sort out my bike mate,ill be going to dalby.....ill give you a ring tonight.0
-
alter 8 sorry i wasn't in ring me in morning and i will pick you up0
-
Ride at dalby didnt happen,we decided on route to go up near flyingdales instead as it was such a nice day......15 miles later,i had pulled my groin,and decided it was quicker to go down hill faster without my bike,still had a great ride out tho
Hopefully next ride out will be in peaks,not to sure what day at mo tho.0 -
just a shame i didn't see your offing 8)
good ride though0 -

altern8 here is a link to the geezer selling a speed chain0 -
If Altern8 isn't going for a ride tomorrow, we are thinking of doing a little something on Saturday afternoon. It would have to be easyish for me, due to my ankle still a tad swollen and tender.
Also, just seen the weather forecast and it doesn't look great for North Yorks Moors, but that could all change....
So. if anyone likes to join us for a ride around somewhere(...?), let us know. Could be Moors, Dales, Peaks or Sherwood Pines. Dependant on weather.
It will be slowish pace though.0 -
Ive decided not to go out friday,so im ok for saturday.......will make a change waiting for giggsmaster,rather then other way round 0
-
Well I'm of to wales today doing llandegla saturday :P .
Alterin8 I will get intouch with you next week about a peaks ride0 -
hi folks i'd be up for joining folk for a ride this weekend if you are going somewhere interesting and don't mind a newbie hanger-onerer!0
-
More then welcome to join us,we are going up on the moors near fylingdales,will be getting there for 2-30pm for a 3pm start as giggsmaster is working in the morning.We will be taking it easy as well,as giggsmaster is unfit due to being off the bike after a injury.Link to Start/Fin point0
-
We're doing a Ladybower round but not starting until 12:30/13:00 as I'm at work in the morning...it's always steady 0
-
Peaks will be to rough for giggsmaster as still in a bit of pain with ankle,but thanks for the offer ibbo68.
Hopefully ill be across in peaks during next week tho. 0
