This is alright from the AA, but again, it only shows forest roads, and the cycle trail it maps only uses forest roads - no trail.
Most of the forest tracks have strands of trail branching off them, one which i liked the look of a lot - we'll have to check that out for sure..
This article is quite good, though well out of date :roll:

It will be good to have a line of riders instead of riding alone :roll:
Kudos to Jamazin for starting this thread
There is a bit of singletrack branching off the forest road that I want to check out too, so that bit of singletrack plus the 4x technique lessons :roll: are my contributions to the day Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -

Delamere is a fun place to ride - well done jay12
It'll be great fun to have another go on that 4x track Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -

Geez, though you were better.
Hope you are alright for tuesday.
Have you checked your bike over (make sure nothing is broken) or out of place?Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
The bikes fine, just the little cap on the end of my grip has popped out, can't find it anywhere.
But yeah I'm still limping a bit. I might just go on a 10 minute ride see how I feel.0 -

Hopefully you will feel better on the bike than off (it can happen) .
The cap of the end of your bars is gone - think it is my coat pocket. You don't need it, though you might need some pliers when you come to get the grips off... Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
Just went out, I can ride the bike better than I can walk.0

Great - though so.
We won't ride that quickly anywat - the 4x track is fun, nowt hard.
That said, I don't know what jay12 has planned Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
Yeah fair enough, I'm gonna take it easy though when we do go.
Because when I stop and just stand up thats when it hurts.0 -
We had best keep riding then
I'll get back to you all with train times tomorrow. - this takes planning.Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
The weather report for tuesday looks, ..................interesting.
So bring your waterproofs...
We souild get some sun - hope the 4x track will be rideable, but almost all the jumps will be, it may be comically slippy on 'Peaty's downhill' Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
