Thinking of riding Llandegla on Saturday, done it once this week solo, heading up in the morning as am working @ 5pm... anyone else riding?
sick of doing it solo when the others are working, always better to have some banter... 8)

A couple of us are up there first thing tomorrow (get there for 8:30). Will be doing blacks etc. Not going to quick this week as one of us is only just back from having his elbow rebuilt after a bif off after not landing a jump properly. Your welcome to join us. All around the 40 mark (if that matters)

no, about his 4th. We've done a couple of delamere's and an "easy" Landegla earlier this week, didn't you see us in the cafe?

wearabouts of these mythical Delemere trails

Its one of those the more you ride it, the more you find kind of places. Its not like a trail center ride (not got the height) its more about finding nice bits of singletrack and jioning them up for a good ride. You need to work harder to get it to flow, but its worth it. There are some real nice rides to be had and has been a great place the last few months with the snow closing Llandegla. I believe there is a regular Monday night ride that is organised on here, so that probably worth trying to make.

That said this below gives you a good place to start. Particularly good if you have a GPS to put it on, but do able on paper.

The first one includes a trip up old pale, which long ago had a good "cheeky" downhill, but thats lon gone and its a wide path up a down now. Its still worth a ride up for the view from the new monument and the extra exercise. 🙂 enjoy

I might be there at about 11.

As for Delamere you gotta be a bit local to know your way about, there's hours and hours in there 🙂

Still aint got my head round delamere, and been riding it quite a bit, don't think it helps that the chap who i ride there with varies the route every time, rekon i'd still get lost if i went on my own... damn good reason to get a GPS, if only they weren't so expensive..

thinking bout heading up there for bout 10:30-11:00 (ish)
