Well at least some of us managed to get some miles in, despite the covering of snow and post-club-dinner-hangovers! Kev and I had a great ride on our mountain bikes up past Vale Royal Abbey, along the Whitegate Way (the dinky bits of singletrack along the side of the main path) then through the forest […]

It was wet but at least we were out…
Well at least we managed a ride, after all that snow and ice, but it was of the very wet variety, the sort where you don’t want to be either 1. the rider without the mudguards because everyone tuts at you or 2. the rider behind the rider without the mudguards because you get diluted […]
Gisburn Forest……….The Big Push!
Our first visit to Gisburn Forest had been eagerly awaited and the high turnout showed as much. Nick, Matt H, Kevin C, Eleanor, Andy, Derek, John, Rob and Richard made the journey north wondering what delights might await them.We knew it could still be snowy, so it was no surprise when we rolled into the […]
Gisburn Forest 16 Jan
A new area for us to visit about 1.5 hrs drive away. Fantastic purpose built red and blue graded trails. We have had good reports about this place and there are plenty of other tracks to tackle, if we get bored, across the Trough of Bowland. See http://explore.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/os_routes/show/9918 Meet 10am at Cocklet Hill Car Park […]
Winter Wonderland 9 Jan
Great idea to go for a ride in the snow Kevin! Four of us enjoyed a superb ride with no mishaps or falls. This was the zig-zag route up Pale Heights. We kept off the roads as much as possible. A quick coffee at Delamere then lunch at Summertrees. Lots of the usual tracks and […]

Delamere 2 Jan 2010
Hope you all had a good Christmas and will be ready to get out for a ride to start fulfilling that New Year’s resolution. Riding off-road has all the benefits of riding on the road, but it’s a bit more fun at this time of year. Meet at Delamere Station cafe at 10am as usual, […]
Another Follow the Dog video
Here’s some more of the Follow the Dog trail at Cannock, just as the snow started to fall and those are antlers on Richard’s helmet! Complete with bells. Be patient, it takes a few minutes to buffer – I’ll try to make them shorter in future. Apologies to Kevin who I cut away from.
Cannock Chase Frozen Solid
Well another great day out thanks to Nick. Cannock Chase is really good fun and especially so when it is all frozen solid……………no mud………yipee!The trail is about 7 miles round and has an excellent mix of single track and gravel roads. There is not too much climbing and there are lots of fast flowing singletrack […]
