I’ve got Sunday to ride but no riding buddies and not sure where to ride. Local stuff is a bog, stuff I often drive to I assume covered in snow, so it’ll probably be the Chase.
So inspire me with your plans, big or small 😀
Mow cop, Staffs, road up and then the techy little lane over and down and then back up again, just for the hell of it.
Locally (stourbridge environs), demoing a bike on the trails I know, assuming this bug I've woken up with allows.. just off out!
The North Worcestershire Alps
Caron Valley trails to get my lungs and legs working and practice drop offs Saturday, then Kilpatrick Hills for some push up slide down fun on Sunday.
No where. Again. GRRR! I haven't been on my bike since before Xmas and it's killing me.
Bloody weather / hockey commitments / illness (delete as applicable) has killed every opportunity I've had.
Belgium. For some reason recce riding the Paris Roubaix route in February was sold to me as a good idea.
Cobbles. Rain. Snow. What could possibly go wrong?
Cwmcarn, just for a change
Along the South Downs, hopefully this wind will have dried the trails out a bit
Claife Heights/Grizedale in't lakes 🙂
Cwmcarn because it's dry and I hit something there last week and if I don't go back I'll get a complex about it - took a chunk out of my fugging hand though, how it that possible!?
Twyford. No idea what is there but I'm meeting an old uni mate and he said to bring my bike. We'll see. Whatever happens, beer will be drunk.
Just a local 30 mile loop on the road bike tomorrow morning I think. Not sure where yet, it depends on the wind direction when I set off. I'll ride into it on the way out and tail wind home again.
Doing a z2 road ride around the Fylde Coast and bowland fells tomorrow. Z as in snoozeville

Along the South Downs, hopefully this wind will have dried the trails out a bit
Ohh it has indeed.. Dried out in the most part 3/4's to the top of them. Nice and hard on the clay, hard on the wooded sections but below 3/4's where the sun/wind hasn't been it's still tacky clag in parts, some of the D/H bit's too at the base of the climbs is slippy. Other than that the Downs are running really rather well.
I was up there yesterday on the CX'er doing the section from Winny to Arundel and it was ace, chilly though, wind was bitter.
I'm not riding tomorrow, Sunday will see me up Owlesbury way rattling the Bridleways again on the CX'er.
Tomorrow after work 3pm isn ride with my better half on a local loop start and finish at a pub!
Saturday evening Bivi out from 9pm thats the plan
Sunday Dunnerdale Valley in,t South Lakes that will probably finish with a pint.
Rich
Tomorrow I will be partaking in a 130 mile audax around Wales and the Cotswolds. The bike has been fettled, freshly cabled and new chain fitted. Just finished off a large bag of chips to get those carbs in the system.
I've got a ride mapped out to explore my new environs. It takes 3 counties, Surrey Hills AONB and South Downs NP. just over 10 miles!
Just local roads for me. Went chicksands in the week though and will probably head down to Woburn next week 🙂
Cannock, Sunday I think
Kilpatrick hills for me on Saturday. Heading up the Humphrey road and choose a trail from there. Looks of work to create signed trails happening so looking forward to seeing any progress.
Swinley Forest for me tomorrow morning I reckon. Unless the weather looks crap.
An exploratory ride loosely based on the Bikemaps Dance to the Drum in Conwy. Done a loop over that way a few times but need to explore more. Should be fun, so looking forward to it
Local riding, various bits of woodland and cliffs in and around Saltburn.
Got a friend staying this weekend so going to show him some of our local trails. Itinerary for the weekend:
Beers and Curry watching The rugby tonight.
Big ride out of Ambleside tomorrow. Loughrigg fell, Iron Keld, Hodge Close, Little Langdale, elterwater and Loughrigg Terrace with a stop for a pint and a snack at Hawkshead Brewery.
Sunday think we might go for a quick spin up Farleton Knott before he heads home.
Weather is meant to be good to so bring it on!
Cyb on sun to ride the beast with good group of friends, weather looks good, happy days.
Dartmoor from Princetown.
Singlespeeding with Knottie8 of this parish.
Dressing for a chilly ride!
Been out on the road bike this afternoon for a spin around Rivi. Lovely sunny afternoon if a bit chilly!
Tomorrow we are doing the Evans Ride-It Rochdale event. Had signed up for the long route but the organisers have pulled the extended bit due to the ice up on top of the Pennines so sadly its just the medium route. Shame really as the point was to find new trails for the MNPR's and we will probably now just be on the stuff that we already know!
Riding's riding though so it will still be good! 😀
Sounds like some of you have awesome weekends planned 8)
The wife has now pencilled me in for a 40miler road ride in the morning before we head to the Banff Film Festival in Brum.
Just need to decide what to do Sunday.
Comrie Croft in the A.M.
Test ride the new bike! ?
Saturday or Sunday? We're out around that area Sunday morning so if you see a green Santa Cruz and a black Norco being ridden by two numpties say hi, it'll be my nephew and I
Tomorrow I'm afraid mate
Berwicksire tomorrow, loads of woodland singletrack where you meet no one, got some more WW2 bunkers to go invesigate,
Sunday down the local beach 🙂
35 miles on the road today. Tomorrow an hours spin on the mtb for a change. Depending on how that goes, Sunday will be either the Gorrick race or a 50 mile road ride.
Spoilt for choice really, Quantocks or Exmoor, maybe FoD. No maps no electronic gadgetry just beautiful trails and company. What could possibly go wrong.
Day/Night Enduro at FOD. And yes, Im bricking it, only ridden in the dark twice so could be iteresting trying it at race speed....
Horwich cc MTB weekend in coniston
Looking like Grizedale tomorrow. 🙂
North Downs Saturday morning, party Saturday night and maybe a very hungover ride Sunday!
Nowt. Family stuff and waiting on last of a cold clearing. Missing my night ride next week due to work commitments. Nearly 3weeks off. May chance my first solo night ride at this rate...
The Long Mynd tomorrow...got a Magic Mary up front to try out.
Long Mynd icy and not a lot of fun at the moment apparentl so it might be Cwmcarn then.
SDW out and back to QECP from Fareham.
Work tomorrow
