Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Are there any MTBers on here?

no-one

I used to have quite a good bike, but I left it at Kyles about 1.5 yrs ago dunno what happened to it haha! Aint needed it since!

Mind you, I am getting rid of me car soon and dunno when I will be gettin a new one, so it could be a while before I would be able to come to a ride in any case.

Ahh well, looks like I'll be on me lonesome. Was worth a try

Right, well I'm off to Llandegla tomorrow if anyone fancies coming along with a complete ramdom (me)

bah, forgot about this topic.

I'm interested, but not this weekend or next as I'm fully booked lol

How you getting there mate?

In the car mate, back seats down, front wheel off, bike in.

ahh cool stuff.

well have a good time, an I'll hopefully be joining you next time you go

god someone win the lottery so all of us dont av to go to work and can finally do some of our planned activities

Well what a day! The Welsh weather held out great, the air wasn’t too cold nor too hot, just the right temperature to have a good ride without overheating.

It’s been around 10 months since I last sat on my bike, and fook me I’m out of shape. My fitness really hit home on the first section of the trail as its all uphill. Well apart from being not as fit as I used to be, I only have 1 38tooth chain ring on the front so some hills are just plain impossible to get up; so I spent a fair amount of time walking up hills.

Once past the hills is where things get interesting and you start to realise why you actually came on the bike ride in the first place. Starting with small single track you make your way through a series of heavily wooded forest trails, hitting burms, small drops (if you wish to take that route) to ‘north shore’ trails (http://www.watersheep.org.uk/images/pete/public_html/pictures/OkehamptonOct2006/img_0672.jpg). All in all it was a great ride, apart for my buddies’ chain snapping which lucky for him I had my chain tool with me and was able to fix it.

The ride if cycled without stopping should take roughly 1.5 – 2 hrs, but I like to take in the Welsh air and surrounding (by walking up hills ) so it took me a bit longer.

When you finally get to the end, you can go to the onsite café and have a full blow English if you want as a nice reward.

10/10 ride

Only got one pic of me – not a very good one at that

Some really nice views there Glad you had a great day!

great views, wish I went.

Looks and sounds like a good course

As pomp says, glad you had a great day.

Whens the next time you're going?

Anytime tbh, I don't have any commitments so I can just pack up and go (well I say no commitments, I'll have to run it past the missus like, but that won't be a problem).

Let me know when you're able to go, and I'll go with you then

ah that place looks well nice. wish i didnt have to work today ( or at all )

ill have to get a pic of my bike up
