Hehe - was much quicker to run uphill.
Anyway, we shall have to go back soon
I'm planning bits of trail atm, and will soon start digging - yes I have permission
Anyone who wants to act as test dummy for the new bits is welcome nearer the time of completion. Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
I'll come and help if there is a dig day - would be nice to have a decent trail not far away - PM me 0

Good idea compo
Dig, ride, lunch, ride again.
I'm just clearing off the topsoil atm, but it will soon resemble a mighty (if not tricky) trail Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -

This is near walkden (the trails aren't frequented by loads of MX'ers and I'd like to keep it that way )
The trails themselves aren't that long - less than a minute, but are great for a session out on the bike.Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
good luck Whytepeak. i hope the council don't ruin your newly built trail 0

Whytepeak - with regards to council and MX don't tell us where it is on the forum - PM us location instaed to keep it secret0

The Communist Council of Walkden Borough will be watching this.
We should do an XC ride, so I'm in my element lol.
I'm obviously not very good at these jumps and berms.0 -

That is why delamere is so good.
There is plenty of xc trails and fireroad stuff, if you know where to find it (thanks Jay12 ), aswell as the 4x track and short downhills.
It's also dry there, as the trails aren't mashed up by walkers or horses, or indeed loads of bikes...
Also, good news Jaz is back from the US, so another trip to delamere is on the cards, although I'll leave the planning to him Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
Alright I'll do a bit of planning.
I propose that 2 of us travel from manchester an hour early, and meet jay on the train.
Then two others travel an hour later, and we'll wait to meet you at delamere station.
The same on the way back.
This is so we can all get on the train, and jay12 is refused entry onto the train, as a maximun of 2 bikes may be pushed a bit be 5.Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
hmm.
what about all meet in manc then get on delamere train at picadilly before guard arrives at the train, like last time.
Once all 4 bikes are lockied on the train, obviously not causing any disruption, he might not mind?0 -

And then Jay12 isn't allowed on the train Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -

they diod let one guy on at knutsford at the other end of the train cos he was on his own - they may do that with jay0 -

Indeed, me an' Jaz have seen 9 bikes on that train. But it's a chance I'd rather not take.
We will have to travel in 2 groups. End off...
I think we could travel together on the way there (or just Jay could go 1 hr early), but its deffo 2 groups on the way back.
I'll want to leave delamere late anyway.Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
i can go 1hr early. unless someone else can or wants to with me . but on the way back it has to be two groups0

^^^^^ Correct.
I can get into manchester easily, so I can travel early with you jay, if anyone wants to come early too, you can.
That way we get 1/2 on the way there in one group and 2/3 in the other, so no-one travels alone.
I've no need to get back early, so can leave delamere at any time.Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
well try for 1 group, if not then 2
how about that for a compromise 0 -
This is such a mess!. We'll have to wait for StealTheR to come on, - doubt he'll want to travel alone into manchester - and then find the station an' all that.
One of us will have to go with him.Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
ah yes forotten about him
tbh - we don't even have a date for when we are going atm0 -
We are going at half term.
As a date to work on, I say Friday October the 30TH
Me, compo and Jay can all make this date.
Just need stealthy and jaz to say they can....Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -
dunno if I can make the 30th - I'll check and let people know perhaps tomorow0
