Reading Time: 2 minutes Despite, or perhaps because of the snow, it was a brilliant weekend based at Dent in the Yorshire Dales. The bunkhouse at Whernside Manor did us proud although some of us didn’t get their cars along the snowcovered lane to it. Eight of us stayed over Saturday night with Matthew and Derek (the gate boys, […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute This is a picture from last year’s event showing the spectacular Altura trail with Bassenthwaite Lake in the background. Although this year was a little overcast, the rain held off and Kev Campbell and I enjoyed this gruelling test of trail running and technical mountainbiking. The Altura trail makes up most of the 15km biking […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute 11 off roaders and about the same number of roadies enjoyed a beautiful morning – checkout the videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/NickBXride

Reading Time: < 1 minute See the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC9KtCGTPSgCome and join us for a ride from the club Hillclimb http://cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/ HQ in Macclesfield after the event. We can head out on the canal towpath to Macclesfield Forest and then on to the 3 Shires bridge or any of the other tracks and bridleways. A steady pace but some challenging […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute The leaves are falling and there is a nip in the air. Time to dust off the mountain bike and rediscover the sheltered trails on our doorstep in Delamere Forest. If you haven’t joined us yet, come along and have a go. All abilities welcome, we regroup regularly and wait at any junctions. Meet at […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes A large turnout of 14 for the singletrack and a couple for the firetracks is a record for the off road section I believe. Giles and Les Charley making a welcome return to the fat tyres and a few of my friends and my brother added to the numbers. They all enjoyed it and reminded […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes Saturday turned out to be a fantastic day for riding the purpose built red and black graded trails at Gisburn Forest. It’s a shame no-one else made it, but there were plenty of other groups riding the trails to keep me company. There are some fairly technical rocky sections and lots of very twisty bits […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes You may or may not know that in November, New Member John Bradley (often refered to as John from Sandiway by the Off Road contingent) is taking part in a gruelling 420km sponsored cycle ride across dusty terrain of game reserves and nature reserves in Tanzania for charity Transaid . John is hoping to raise […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Here is Kev U showing such speed that he’s just a blur (must get a decent digital camera) on one of the many sections of singletrack we covered. John showed us a couple more “new” sections which I have committed to memory. A very enjoyable ride despite the heavy rain halfway round and the mud […]
