Reading Time: < 1 minute Meet at the Station Cafe for 10am start as usual. A couple of hours or so on the plentiful singletrack trails around the forest before lunch back at the cafe.

Reading Time: < 1 minute Thanks to Chris for the pictures. This was on our way from the top of the forest towards the Ponderosa. The view from the top. Then returning towards the cafe along a bridleway, Matthew and I doing our best to try and shake off Eleanor and Chris taking pictures on the move I guess. And […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Come and enjoy the Indian summer in the forest on some of the brilliant singletrack trails. Conditions should be perfect now that the brambles are dying back and the mud will have dried up. This is one of our regulars, Kev C during Manchester’s Hit the North Race back in February. We are starting to […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute A volunteer required to lead this ride please. Leave a comment here if you can.

Reading Time: < 1 minute Come and join us for fun in the mud! Loads of interesting and challenging singletrack around the forest for all sorts of abilities. Meet at the station cafe for 10am start. We usually have a couple of hours or so, regrouping regularly, then lunch back at the cafe. A couple of hours more in the […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes A bit warm for a gorilla suit so we made Gareth some antlers which he sported for the ride. 12 was the best turnout for a couple of years. This was part way round at the Clwyd Gate following the climb up from a fast gravel descent. Brother-in-law to be Lee joined us and kept […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute After a fast blast around the forest with Andy B (now fully fit), Matt & Ed Hornby, Kev C and Jonti, it was off to Harthill for Derek and me to see the Schwalbe National 4x series. We rode through Primrose wood then down Tirley Garth, passed Beeston on the road and then through the […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Weaver Valley had two teams in this annual competition, this year based in the Peak District with over 100 teams and solo riders from all over the UK. Richard Clader, new to this event – which is mountainbike orienteering on tracks and bridleways, teamed up with me to acheive a respectable score as the first […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes http://www.youtube.com/v/ZxsjKYQFi24&hl=en_GB&feature=player_embedded&version=3It appears that May is the month for riding in the lakes, with Derek and Gareth completing the Fred Whitton earlier in the month, and Kevan, Elenor and me, (Matt) riding Keswick Mountain Festival events this last weekend. All the road riders did well, completing the rides in respectable times in wild weather, but this […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Now that Andy “big air” B is back on two wheels I though we should have a ride around the Delamere trails. Conditions are perfect with the recent rain to dampen down the dust. Hope you ARE fully recovered now Andy and can join us at 10am Station cafe as usual. All abilities welcome.

Reading Time: < 1 minute Saturday 7 May saw us heading for Rhiwlas on the edge of the Ceriog Valley near Oswestry for the annual Borderlands Challenge. This was KevC trying to thumb a lift. See http://www.rotary-ribi.org/clubs/committee.asp?ClubCtteeID=7178&ClubID=1699 and if you go to the gallery you’ll find pictures of us. This really is a very good event in aid of the […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Richard had a great idea about heading over some of Snowdonia’s 3000′ mountains and the two Kev’s and I were game enough (perhaps daft enough) to accompany him. We took the Roman Road which was ridable all the way up Drum before pushing up Foel Fras, the most northeasterly of the Welsh 3000 footers. From […]
