Cycled at Dalby( Near Whitby/Scarborugh N Yorkshire) on Thursday ....... Not bad at all ........ Ascents far easier than the peak route and the desents were enjoyable....This was the red route with bits of Black chucked in for fun.
They are having alot of trail building from an up and coming world cup thingy so once that's gone the trails should be almost pristine

sparrowlegs78

Hmmm I haven't done Dalby yet, I feel a holiday weekend for me and him over that way once he's fixed

i thank you

Just a thought, but I'm hoping to do a beginner and intermediate skills course this year (not at the same time) with Chasing Trails up at Dalby.

Would this be something anyone else might be interested in? If we have a ready made group (up to 8 people) we can pretty much pick our own date.

Evening all......dixon of dock green here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have just been nosing around t' internet and came across this article......thought i'd best post it................

THERE appear to be a spate of bike thefts all exposing the vulnerability of roof bike racks. So be warned! At least two bikes have been stole in the north Manchester region using exactly the same ploy. Theives are often following cars which have cool bikes on the roof - and then waiting for the car to be unattended even just for a few moments. The bikes are then broken out of the roof rack arms, even when they have been locked with a key, and off they go. The pain is that it is ironically so easy for the thief to then ride off on your pride and joy! Ric, from west Manchester, said: 'I couldn't believe it. I had been out riding in Haigh Hall and then got home, put the kids to bed, and when I came back out onto the drive my full suspension had gone and they'd left my wife's where it was.' Another victim's bike was nabbed from the Peak District. He had gone into a local pub with the car parked strategically in view. What he hadn't banked on is someone nicking the bike hidden out of view behind another. So be careful! Bike roof racks might not be the best option!

I never leave our bikes unattended on our rack, it would take a thief a couple of mins just to cut our rack off by cutting the webbing straps that attatch the rack to the car.
Well spotted post though
