Event Description

The End of Week Ride is aimed at new riders wishing to find their way around the local forest and moors, also those who may feel a little intimidated at joining a ride where they are unsure of their capabilities, and those that maybe just want to sample mountain biking,

It isn't an official ride, just a few enthusiasts that get together to do what they love, ride a mountain bike and have some fun. A reasonable level of fitness is a must.

The routes are XC, official fire roads & bridle ways, with lots of climbs and a little easy single track, decided at the start of the ride.

The ride day will vary between Sat. & Sun. from week to week due to work commitments, and the start time too.

As the year progresses, the rides will move further a field, including the North Yorks Moors, Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and some of the Trail Parks and other Forests.

Comment by Martin Coleby on February 24, 2013 at 19:29: Sorry about all the climbs today but to get anywhere around G Forest they are unavoidable. I just happened to choose all the steepest ones for you after this everything is easy lol it'll do you good in the long run. My Bluetooth keyboard seems to have died so have struggled getting the photos online with my iPad. There are a few more which I'll add to the album when I have it sorted.
Have a great time next week, I'm off on a little skiing exercise so will not be with you. (Who cheered? lol)
Have a happy and safe ride. Martin

Comment by Simon on February 24, 2013 at 15:17: Great ride again today. Very good route which helped get the breath back before the next climb. Packed snow made for a great riding surface which is much better then the dreaded MUD !

Thanks Everyone

Comment by PAUL HORNSEY on February 24, 2013 at 13:28: sorry for disappearing on everyone today, after a slight equipment failure and dropping behind i decided to go at my own pace and do my own thing.

I heard at the start that there was going to be some big climbs today that even the regulars struggle with and as i struggle with the climb at the start of the tail I thought it best not to hold anyone up.

the problem i have is damaged ankles which is why i started cycling, if i came to a climb that i struggled with i wouldn't be able to get off and walk it without considerable pain so thought i'd duck out of this ride until I get to a level of fitness where i know i won't have to walk.

martin, i'll get your tyres back to you next weekend as i am back up in aberdeen tomorrow and should have new new ones ready by then

catch you all again at some point
