- Fairly new to Mountain Biking but have been badly bitten by the bug. Family commitments restrict when I ride but generally it's weekday evenings and early Sunday mornings, although I'm hoping to get a few full Sundays in this year and will be sampling a few of the trail centres further afield.

- No probs Chris. Gunnerside ride didn't really happen for me: Kev got it into his head that the meeting point was Gunnerside for some reason and being as there was no mobile reception up there was a bit stuffed. For the first time in my life on a new ride I didn't take an OS map with me so just had an explore up the valley past the ruins and a play around up there. Will be going back sometime soon(ish)

Stuart said… - Crispy I know your in full support for this eastgate thing, on the website http://www.weardale-works.co.uk/ on the " support for eastgate " page it has a variety of people who are obviously supporting the plans, mp's, teachers etc. For instance there's a guy there who is called Wayne Edy, managing director of specialist off-road running shoe company. What if we could get someone who has a mtb shop or sometin to get his face on there and show full support. That place is all about being green, and bikes totaly fit on it. That way I think it will have a greater influence on decision makings towards mtb. I think they've stopped the cable car because of sight pollution.

I think you may have gone off line a little bit, it did make me chuckle I came down that in about 2 foot of snow when I first moved down here 19 years ago I nearly died!
Do call in with map and sharp pencil

- Hi chris looking at doing a ride at hamsterley, including the red loop/poss black but i was looking at incorporating some moorland outside of the forest, have you got any routes that match that description i've only done the red/black loops before so i'm unaware of what else is around there. I'm looking at about 3 1/2 - 4 hrs of riding nothing too extreme like downhill sections.
cheers

Chance of a sneak peak at the iROC course
Is anyone interested in a sneak preview of the iROC course in Eastgate - this is a one off chance to ride in an area of Weardale with no access currently (and a chance to have a peak at the site of the proposed trails in the renewable energy village)? I've had the mail below from the organisers.
I am organising the iROC Adventure Race in Eastgate in May 2010. We held the event for the first tim… Continue

Trip to the dales
First day we rode the classic "Scar House Reservoir" ride which was brilliant, apart from a flurry of punctures in the last few miles of the ride. After a couple of flats between Mark & I on the 2nd to last descent, we hit the final descent and I managed to pinch flat on the top section, and then after hitting a very rocky section at pretty much full speed I managed to get 2 pinch flats in the front and 5 or 6 i… Continue
