    it's alright the air amublance have Gisburn in their GPS favouirtes list, been up there again today (Hope Line this time).
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    Went up Sunday, trails nice and dry, what a cracking morning, we all did something new, Dodget managed the DH left hand drop, I managed to gap jump the berms on Hully gully before the rocky decent.

    I wish it was 1:30 :D managed to scape in 9th with 1:57. Only done the hope line 4-5 times so well happy with my position. Generally ride on my own or with my nephew so before strava we had no idea how we compared to other riders. Managed to do the full route ( and the hope line once) in 1hr 28 mins today. How some of these riders can do it under the hour is beyond me.

    Ive done the "8" without the hopeline in under an hour, no chance now, I was riding 25miles a day to work and back when I managed a sub 1hr time.

    1.57 is a good time especially as its wet atm.

    Under the hour? Fair play to you fella. I think the only way I'd get a time like that is if I obtained some of lance Armstrong's " special sweeties" :lol::mrgreen:

    1 were is new car park - will be next to Stephen Park
    2 when is new section near car park open and were does it bring you out (walked the first bit looks grear fun) - will open when the new carpark opens so probably a couple of months. WIll bring you out at the new carpark. There's also a new section on the other side of the new carpark. It all needs to bed in properly and is still under construction. The volunteer section should also open around the same time (1km of singletrack removing the downhill fireroad on the return leg of the bottom loop).
    3 is the rooty section set for repairs - Yes, the FC guys have started to put in a chicken run and then the volunteers are going to make sympathetic repairs to the rooty sections, keeping the roots.
