This was a good evening ride unfortunitely with the nights getting darker earlier the videoing was limited, couple of good jumps slightly spoilt by the damp ground conditions.
As a note, don’t go to the Devonshire Arms for a drink afterwards way to pricey
Riders Matthew, Mark Joe and Andy
While at Clumber park we tried out the runs at Sherwood pines, not very hilly and the jump section isn’t very good but the downhill section makes up for it.
On the Saturday and Sunday me and Mark did the red run, cycled from Edwinstowe on Saturday making it an 18.6 mile run, the Sunday we just concentrated on the red run (10.9 mile) and had a play in the downhill section which was fun. Monday went with Susan (my wife) and Hollie (11 year old Daughter) and did the blue run, said on their map it was 6 miles but they forgot to mention it started and finished part way through the green run so ended up being 8.9 miles.
Worth noting, the site map isn’t very good and there’s no numbering on the red run so if your not careful you could get lost.
What a brilliant ride, the new sections are well worth a visit, the builders have produced one of the best tracks I’ve been on to date, will be back very very soon with the cameras.

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
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.
