We need to do a CC day out there.

Would the crossers be OK on there ?

Only one way to find out!

Ola. This on my to-do list with a 'crosser. I'll bring a first aid kit along, I will almost certainly need it. Last time I tried riding a 'crosser on a MTB trail I had a huge stack and nearly broke several bones - I did pull tendons in my shoulder and had a stiff neck for about 2 months...
I could even do an evening sooninsh - in July - as well as weekends.

Not him then - these guys didn't have the handling skills. They weren't any quicker than Skolly's 7 year old lad (or me)

You'll love it potts. Makes a change from staring at your front wheel for four hours.

I'll get a few lessons from one of my mtb'ing colleagues, they've been doing the Fallowfield loop and saying it is 'off-roading'

WooHooHoo. Been back here today with the kids and a mate with his two children. We had an absolute scream. I was amazed at my mate's 8yr old daughter, she rode it all, including the steps my boys rode down at the last visit. It was damned hot too, lovely for the end of Sept.

Still loving the trails in the Vale but have to admit, I have as much fun on the concrete blocks outside the front of the Evans store by the Velodrome.

Planning a possible visit this weekend with a colleague, weather permitting. Just been reading a review HERE and had to laugh at one of the comments - "excellent fast flowing stuff to crank graunching agony of up hills"

There's nothing there that my two boys can't ride up on a good day......

Hoping it's dry at some point this weekend, really 'need' to give the MTB a good workout.
