Has anyone ridden on the Moors around Sinnington and Rosedale Abbey the last couple of days since its been raining - how muddy will it be?
Haddock Its been mint dry,fast & dusty for last 3 weeks, however I was up there last night and its already getting muddy & cut up. The local donky club have been up the sinnington trail and cut it up a bit. Moors and rosedale singletrack are ok and will soon dry up if it doesn't rain all week. If it rains all week it will no doubt turn to good old mudville as normal.
Are you local to the area muca, cheers stumpy aka Nick.
Sort of i'm just outside Hull so the Moors are as near as anywhere for proper riding. I'm going up tommorrow as the forecast is better - from what you've said i'll be fitting a mud tyre this afternoon!
What's the donky club?
big four legged things with tourists on them go out and put holes in the trails which are about as deep as those left by mountain bikes.
Grumm & pook, or it may be donkey spult rong !! Dooh whoops.
Haddock; fit speed kings !!! 4 of my crew rode on them last night when i was on some budget crap but they had half decent tread and guess what the speed king boys had several ground arse interface moments but it makes for an interesting ride. Not to mention the post ride pub piss take...
I dont suppose you or any of your mtbi'n mates would be interested in marshalling for SSUK09 at Dalby ? We are running it this year and we are looking for voulenteers to assist.
Cheers Stumpy
I was wondering whether you meant people who listen to donk, ie boy racers.
Not familiar with donk?
All new to me, but LMAO inregard to donk, its a bit rural in these parts we just get tractor boys and folk who are all cousins ?
I might fit some racing ralphs for that speedy edge in the mud and listen to some donk :-)?
??? or perhaps not. Ta for trail advice, sunny day forecast.
Getting worse I fear - I was up the A64 tonight and it was lashing - 'course it might have missed the Moors but if I were a betting man...
The moors got a good soaking yesterday - poured it down all day in Pickering, nand my little trip in the car over the moors to Whitby and back showed no sign of dryness anywhere which made my mind up about going ut for a ride last night. I like to ride my biike for longer than it takes to clean it.. 🙄
