Where's everyone riding this weekend?

Unknown · June 2007

The reason I'm asking is that this time tomorrow I should be in Wales! Woo hoo![:D]

Sorry, having trouble focusing at work! I'm off to a gig tonight, going to see Wolfmother, then early tomorrow morning me and five mates are heading to Wales for the weekend. Hopefully riding the Marin trail tomorrow afternoon, Snowdon on Saturday morning, Penmachno (I think) on Saturday afternoon then somewhere else (I've forgotten!) on Sunday. I really can't wait! [:D]

Lily, the Marin Trail is at Gwydyr Forest, which I believe is north Wales.

Fozzy, sounds like we're totally the other end of Wales. Cwm Carn's south Wales I think and we're based in north Wales for the weekend. Bit of a shame really as it would have been good hooking up.

Yeah, bit of a bike test for us too. Bar a trip to the Peaks at Easter, this will be the first real test of my Hustler, a mate's Heckler and another mate's Orange Patriot. Should be a cracking weekend!

Yeah minimole, I guess it's probably not so exciting if you actually live there! [:)]

You have to understand that I come from the flatlands of Norfolk and Wales is pretty much mountian bike heaven, in comparison!

That any better?

Yeah, the ones in the field [:(] Its kinda public land (well, its got a stile going into it, for walkers), so theyre techincally not doing anything wrong being there, but they are *****y little idiots.

At least we'll be able to hit them over the head with our shovels/poke them in the eyes with a fork if they come when we're diggin... [:)]

I'll be doing a local trail on Saturday (30 miler or so), then on Sunday I'm headed down to Hamsterley Forest to meet up with a new bunch of folk. Should be good!

Norfolk? Used to live in Norwich (4 years while postgrad at the UEA) - must say I was happy to leave... the deadness of it didn't really do much for me. Hope I haven't offended.

No, not offended. [:)] I know the UEA well, many a drunken night spent there (actually off there tonight, for a gig)! I live a few miles outside Norwich but I'm not Norfolk born and bred (originally from the Midlands). It has its good points around here but it's not that exciting. As for mountain biking, it's really very tame. There's a couple of decent jump spots locally but the only real trail riding to be had is 30 miles down the road, at Thetford. Whilst there's some great fast flowing singletrack there, it's not that technical and there's no real hills. Hence I'm so excited about getting away to Wales for a few days! [:)]

Well im 27 so i guesss i can hold out for a bit longer[:)]. I started to learn last year, but after about 6 lessons i was just like nah this is so boring....stuck in traffic etc etc. I think the problem is i am just too impatient after riding a motorbike since i was 17 so cars just feel restrictive. What i need to do is get a mate with a bike rack![:D]

Some of the lads have done the DH course a few times (Nodrog2, Corrie & SteveLand) and they all think it's excellent, it's *slightly* beyond my capabilities however (i.e. I'm a big wuss who can't go fast down hills) so I stick to the skills loop for[ever] now, if the weather's good then a lot of the Hamsterley singletrack is great, if it's wet then it's horrid!!
The group I'm meeting up with are mostly just beginners anyway from what I gather so it'll likely be a lap of the blue or red routes only.

miles away from me, but if i'm ever planning a road trip to riding spots oooop north, i'll include it.

Unknown · June 2007

I agree with Mudface, Hamsterley does indeed sound cool. Never done a road trip any further north than the Peak District but looks like Hamsterley could well be worth checking out.

keep meaning to visit some of the scottish trail centres too, but i can go to the alps in the same time, and for probably cheaper...

Unknown · June 2007

Off to Scotland for the first time in September. A group of us are going up to check out the World Champs but hopefully we'll get a couple of days riding in too. It probably would be quicker to get to the Alps for us too, I think we've got something like a 10 hour drive to get to Fort William! But the idea of the Alps scares me a bit - those are serious mountains! [:)]

it'll take us 9 hours to drive to verbier from calais, with a stop off at dijon (driving this time - much more laid back and a wicked road trip to boot!).

we're going here: http://www.bikeverbier.com/photoalbum/v ... in-Verbier
