  • Dalby is awesome, I live in Bury and it took us about 2 1/2 hours, well worth the drive though. Off to whinlatter in Keswick tomorrow, anyone been, if so what's it like?

    Gisburn is also good, was there last wk and the new trails with huge berms are great1

    Hello aguesty1

    Whinlatter comes with my recommendations - its very good.
    I've only ridden the north loop - nice climbs, although the final descent is a bit short, its great fun to ride.

    The south loop is supposed to be even better - keep an eye out for bigbenj_08, who is also going tomorrow :D
    See his post here

    same as last time but some downhill added. if there is more than 4 coming then we would have to split into 2 groups. that's if we're all coming by train

    I am coming but probably won't be that fast on the proper downhill courses, having only a cheap xc bike :lol:
    (having said that I'll probably be slow on the uphills aswell knowing me :P)

    Yeah I'll do Delamere.

    Just got back from Church Stretton, some of the trails round there are really good, most of them are man-made and had some really nice downhill parts.

    Part of the track went across a runway for gliders and small planes so we had to dodge planes aswell.

    But it was really good I enjoyed it,

    Btw Whytepeak, if you ever go on a road ride any night of the week, just let me know, text or on here I don't mind. You have my number.

    I'm going on a road ride pretty often now actually - almost every day of the week :shock:

    Just along the east lancs though - nowt too far.

    I'll get some pics when I go out today. You're welcome to come along.

    I'll probably go over to rivi on the road bike this weekend.

    Yeah well, I went out on my road bike before so if you go any other day this week let me know.

    Not this weekend though. Saturday I'm in work and Sunday I'm going up to Lee Quarry to have a ride round it a few times.
  • Whytepeak
    Whytepeak Posts: 2,616
    Riding round lee quaray is a good idea.

    I'll probably se if I can get up there before the race too.


    As for road riding, I can only get out after school, and most days that means 5pm at the earliest :(
