    Hi there,

    I live in Skipton which is about 30 miles from you so not really local but i do go to Lee Quarry and Gisburn a lot. If you fancy meeting up thats fine with me. I am actually going to Lee Quarry this Sunday with a mate if you want to come. I dont have access to a pc much so if you want to text/call me the number is 07919 405949

    Cheers, Craig
  • I'm up in the Lakes if you ever venture that far North.

    The riding isn't too bad round here too :D
  • Must have just driven past you today going to Staveley. Did 30 miles, and if you're new to mountain biking it would have put you off - it put me off!!!! Bludie awful weather. Having said that I might be out on Weds afternoon if I can switch my jobs about, let me know if you're free, I need an excuse. Won't be riding trail centres anywhere; natural XC if that interests you. (And I ain't too proud to walk - up or down!)
    Generally Lakes/Dales/Pennines, 30/35 miles or so in summer, maybe a bit less in winter. Rivi is my fall back area when I can't decide where else to go. PM if interested.

    Marc,
    Sorry for not getting intouch lately, we've not been out on the bikes as much as we'd like to have with one thing or another :(.....I feel awful that we've not spoke or anything since we went out round Witton :oops:
    Hope you are ok,
    Caz and Richie x
