    Nice one, sorry mate I missed your post, let me know next time your having a run out and I will see if I can make it.

    What type of riding you into anyway?
  • no worries mate, i normally do a bit of singletrack round the peaks which is always a laugh. typical mtb thing though i love the downhill parts but never was too keen on the uphill bits till recently, im enjoying the technical bits now.
    how about yourself? if you want to do a ride anytime then let me know and ill work round whats most convenient for yourself.
    last big ride i did was edale, had 2 nights camping out and 3 days of riding, absolutely loved it.
    me and my mate are definitely out friday if you fancy coming along

    My usual riding time is Sunday mornings at around 8am.

    Will be spreading out to Wednesdays in the evening at some point too.

    My main riding is XC, I can't wheely I've tried lots cant do it :lol: Fast singletrack is my fav, there's a nice bit up near Holmesfield and on the way there there's a short sharp down hill with an awesome bermed corner half way down.

    When you say Dunston woods do you mean the part at the side of the A61?

  • thats the one and same, its a hell of a lot of fun i was surprised when i first went there. someones made a trail themselves and its a bit of a technical downhilly try not to fall off part. its all good fun though. im up for a ride on wednsdays when you can get the time for it. and also if you ever need a riding buddy on sundays ill try and swing it so i can get out then. if you want to email me instead of logging on here my address is dave_smith_77@hotmail.co.uk
