  • Maybe we could all go to Rivington Pike one day, thats pretty close, and I kind of know a decent route that I did last week with a few mates, it's about 18 miles and starts out at the car park.

    If you all up for it, I'll try and get some information on it, or maybe get in touch with Delcol.

    ^^

    Yeah, was speaking with decol two weeks ago, he's at whistler atm (lucky, he's really lucky), and he'll get in touch when he gets back.

    Certainly a rivi ride is on. Me and compo can ride there, Jamazin too if he's up to it.

    But I'd deffo come... :D

  • Sweet, I'll try and find out some more information about it, it was a really good ride, had a lot of climbing, pretty steep in some parts, but then some really fast descents.

    Sounds good, there is certainly a lot of riding on the pike, and winter hill close by. A very good loop could be had around there. i'll se whether I can find some maps too...

    So as soon as you get the card you can get the bike?

    That ride I have in mind btw, takes us right under the Winter Hill mast thing after a nasty road climb.

    We can go where-ever really, make it longer, make it shorter, spend half an hour trying to make a gap over a hedge :lol:

    It is fantastic riding, and an mtber has a lot of gravitational potential once up top :lol: (Yes I'm doing physics :roll: )

  • You should be studying History :D

    There's quite a nice application on Facebook which finds all mountain biking routes that people have uploaded, unfortunately there is no map with the Rivington Pike one.

    I think we could probably throw together quite a good route if we went withouit a map, but planning a route can be a good idea sometime (delamere went sour :lol: ).

    Don't think we'll get lost, as we all seem to know about rivi, and ridden it.

    Last time I was there, some DHers were sessioning (intense M6 - drool) :lol:

    Highly lollable :lol:

    Anyways, we are going out riding this weekend laticsfan and jay12. After that, once I've fixed my bike (it will inevitably break), then maybe we'll all head down to delamere.

    A group ride once and for all...
