Found this ride near Marks house, excellent track down from the top on the way back, this is the first 3 miles of climbing took about 50 minutes to get to the top and less then 10 minutes to get back down.
Decided to try this North Yorkshire trail, did the red run 23 miles, this is the most challeging run I’ve been on to date but well worth it.
Rides Matthew (me), Andy and Mark
Hi Mark and me went for a ride around the green trail at Grizedale Forest on Sunday, had a great run especially when we found the North Face Mountain Trail, added some fun to the ride. All in all a good day apart for Mark buckling his front wheel.
Anyway here’s the map
Spent the day at Norwood, didn’t GPS, but here’s a Video of Andy on the red run
Also met some lads and here’s one of them
And here’s Andy’s jump
And andy now in very slow motion
I have decided to start uploading all our photos to flikr. It may take some time as we have over 1GB of them. The first two sets have now been uploaded
You can follow this link or the link on your rihave ght in the nav.
The picture attached is my bike and i dont have a clue how its free standing.
We also did a small ride this sunday from haworth to hebden-bridge Which was good, you can click here to see the map data
I aslo would like peoples feedback on a new colour or design for the site as a
few people have said there do not like the green. I will be more than happy change it. So just leave a comment on what you think would be best.
Andy took us on a short 9 mile ride from Eldwick down to Saltaire then back up to Eldwick through Baildon.
Wednesday night run around St Ives trying out the new Holux GPSport 245 bike computer, decided to upgrade the old logger as that’s all it does, this one does the same, but also logs the altitude and is also a bike computer (speed, distance, altitude etc). It’s battery also lasts a lot longer. Downloading is also simple, only downside I’ve found so far is that the charts can’t be copied, otherwise a real gem
Had a great ride 5 riders altogther, My (Matthew), Antony, John Andy and Mark. Extended the routes by coming back out of Austwick and up the twin track by the bridge then down and through the stream before the initial climb were we normally start, the new video is of the stream taken at the end of the ride.
The details of the route can be found here
Videos here
Tried this ride for the first time today (Matthew, Antony and Mark (his first outing)) completed the red run mostly twin track with a few short single tracks, this is really a beginners track but is good for first timers. The single tracks had a good mix of fast down hills with short technical and muddy sections.
Sorry no GPS, forgot to charge it.
