Here’s Ross showing us how to ride one of the narrow “bridges” he found on some singletrack, which was completely new to the rest of us, in Delamere Forest. Seven of us enjoyed the sunshine (until it disappeared) with the driest conditions so far this year. Lunch at the cafe, followed by a climb of Pale Heights to warm up again, then back into the forest for more fun.
New member Dave had no problem keeping up, he’s obviously pretty good at the technical stuff. Andy was looking the part wearing his new lycra bottoms. In fact I’m worried that we are passing on too much information to these newcommers – Andy goes twice as fast up the hills now he’s got some spd pedals. And he was the only one apart from Ross to ride over the log bridge. The great thing about these rides in Delamere is that you can do as much, or as little, as you like. It’s never far back to the car park, or back home. Ross led Gareth and me back to Northwich via Crowton and Dutton Locks on the Weaver Way for a relaxing change.
cheers nick but thanks to ross for his ‘second to none’ knowledge of delamere, even taking a route which saw him tested beyond his means (proving to eleanor, dave and me that he was human). looking forward to coed y brenin and got room for a bod and a bike. and i like how you are slipping in more digressive nouns into the snowdon part of the day!
Thanks Nick for keeping us together and thanks Ross for yet more great routes, I don’t know how you find them all but they’re great fun. I don’t think I’ll ever have the bottle to ride across narrow bridges though, I’m too risk averse!
Sorry can’t make the 4th as I’ll be away, have a great time.
Thanks for the ride, The only way that you find those tracks is by getting lost lots!!! Unsure if i can make the 4th, wil let you know.
Ross
I’m definitely away on the 4th, I’m going to South Wales. Taking my bike thought, so I’m planning on going to Cwm Carn and try the downhill track.
So far just Derek, Andy and me for Coed y Brenin on 4 April. Anyone else going – get in touch
