Looking back over the last year, if you had to pick just one ride that stands out in your memory which would it be?

Unfortunately I had very little time this year and failed to get out as much as I would have liked, but I think my favorite ride was a little pootle around the Jack Mitton Way in Shropshire on Fathers day with 2 of my lads!

Apart from the misery of the daily commute - I also haven't ridden much. A road ride up Clee stands out though...it was an ace day out, first proper road ride on new bike and a few beers. Perfect.

Carn Ban Mor was a highlight for me, great ride, good night wild camping, and Ft William DH World Cup finals the following day. Good times.

Gap ride for me!

The tour of Ben Nevis stands out but probably not for the best ride I've done just for the wilderness factor, ups/downs (mental and physical) and the DH track at the end.

Kirroughtree I think.
Great weather, riding with friends and the skills coaching I'd had the day before was working so it all felt effortless. The trail's not bad either of course.
Or Trekster (of this parish) showing me and the same pals round the Mabie secret trails the day after that. Brilliant steep, loamy fun - and again I felt like I'd really upped my game.

Snowdon solo in the sun.

Loads and loads of good rides. But the solo evening descent of Snowdon is the one I'm most pleased with. It was a gorgeous evening, warm and bright with long shadows. The ride down was fast and scary. Very rewarding.

My last FOD uplift was really good apart from the very end where I crashed. Great day though
For one of those grin-factor progression days, my skills day was awesome.

Either the Kielder 100 because it was mental, or more likely, my two day tour up to the Lakes and back. I was so happy once I'd got to Cumbria, just pootling along through all these little hamlets and tiny lanes.
I'll be doing something similar next year but longer.

Snowdon or sleepless in the saddle.

two hours in the snow as it fell in Stanmer park, Brighton. The heavy snow fall made it feel really magical.

Can't decide between Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix cyclos or SDW. All tough, but all equally satisfying.

Snowdon.
But I did love all my rides, even the really wet, cold and muddy ones.

SDWIAD was a standout highlight for 2010.
Enjoyed the ACU AYTE enduro too , simply for the amount of quality singletrack .Posted 1 year ago # -
Either a three week Glasgow-Oban-Barra-Vatersay-Barra-Erriskay-South Uist-Benbecula-North Uist-Berneray-Harris-Lewis-Skye-Glen Roy bike tour (photo a bivvy on top of An Clisham, with my bike hidden behind a peat hag lower down)
or a week ultra lightweight on the R8 going Fort Bill-Mallaig-Camasunary-Sligachan-Kyle-Ratagan-Great Glen-Glen Roy (photo of Camasunary bay)
For a day ride I'm unsure, best was probably my local trails about the end of April/start of May when it was dry and super fast

3 here all stick in my mind.
The MTL in March was great with an overnight in Hebden. 3 unfit chaps made it round in awful weather.
Uplift at Innerleithen was superb. Shame that all but myself and a mate were too tired / injured to do GT the following day.
Week with The White Room and 17,000 vertical meters of descending in 5 days was simply awesome, if that can be classed as 1 ride that is.

Did North to South (Dunnet Head to Mull of Galloway) of Scotland during June this year, some simply awesome trails were ridden...
Posted 1 year ago # -
2 fantastic rides this year - the TransCambrian Way in a day, bivvi out in Machynlleth then ride back the road way, and the Kielder100.
Looking forward to more in 2011
