Local ride

Hexham common or another route around that way.- haven't tried that yet.

Hamsterley - never been there yet either.

Nephew is down for a few days and is a keen rider, who still has the 13 year olds no fear thing going on as well.

Fingers crossed he doesn't brake himself

Nothing off road but cycling to Birmingham (32 miles ish) then going on the piss, staying over and cycling back on Sunday.

Basically the choice goes money on fuel in the car or money on beer in me. ๐Ÿ˜‰

First time on the boardwalk was an experience, but second time much better but still two bits that got the better of us, a very tight right that second time round did an ok ish job of but not great and a left hander that goes up hill just couldn't get my head around that. Not sure I'd want to do it in the wet and wind though!! Having a dry and wind free day I think helped.

Great atmosphere at Fort William and Wolftrax this weekend good chat with other riders.
