I remeber the Jedi

fantastic

Jedi
Caravan
Technical caravan
Camber
Garlic
Secret Garden
Ankle Cracker
The B*stard
The C*nt
Micks Loop

Bet you can guess which 2 are climbs 😀

Pink glove
death mountain
Rhododendron

All I know is I have to call all of them "Micks Loop" as I still don't know where I am going.In fact,I'm up there now,can you come get me please votchy.

Si,

no good asking me to find you, I know the names of the tracks but not where they are, 5 years of blindly following others around there 😉

Muddy,

agreed up the camber (oooooeeeerrrr) does count as a climb

Been ages since i rode the wyre, i stopped going as i kept getting lost!! but has some great singletrack, bet its a little muddy at the moment

how can you get lost in the wyre it's a forest surrounded by cultivated fields, surely you just turn around and go back i or retrace your steps?

riding up the camber trail is wrong, especially if i'm riding down it at the same time! 🙂

oohh whats the caravan technical then !!! sounds fun.

i take it that its part of the caravan run or close by to it??

i must get back up to the wyre for the sunday ride with everyone.

cheers

Pepsi Max - all the way from the Buttonoak road to the concrete bridge, including 'Votchy's Teeth'. 😯

Another nice one is the deer track that starts heading towards ankle cracker, but the peels left up hill a bit before descending. I always knew it as 'Nick's loop' Dunno who Nick was.

Great place to ride.

I've heard talk of a 'Pepsi Max' but like shinsplints if I'm not following someone I get lost in seconds and just end up on fire roads.

Which trail was it that [i]claimed[/i] Votchy's teeth?

Impressive Tim41 - you answered my question before I asked it 😉

I'm still here,it was a long night.A deer tried to interfere with me. 😯

I thought they were called "muddy", "****ing muddy" and "my god how muddy can it be!"

😈

I only know the name for the Camber run, that was only because my mate messed up the last drop off and a group watching sang "Camber's gona get Ya".

Was quite funny at the time 😉

What is the name for the track, not far from the camber run, which you have to go through a hole round a locked gate, then left up a short steep climb, the route is hidden on the right 😉

Would be good to be able to put a name to some of the others, anyone got a map with the names marked on that they could email to us?

How could I forget Pepsi Max, the teeth marks are still in the root sticking out of the bank as you take the final right hander in to the gully section

Si, did the deer you interfered with have my teeth 😯

Also there is 'The Far Side' but that is more an area than a trail

where is pepsi max please!!!!

renton - unless it's changed recently, start at at the buttonoak road at the far NW corner of the forest, heading back towards the visitor centre. Singletrack around the edge of the forest, past the farm with the barking dogs, head into the leafy chute (with teeth marked roots 🙄 ), pops out at the pipeline clearing, back into the trees, generally heading towards the concrete bridge crossing near to jedi, or can cut short left onto the main fireroad, 1/4 mile or so up from the helicopter landing area.
Hard to describe in any more detail, as it's single track in the trees, with lots of junctions. 😆

the pipline clearing is that the firebreak!!

its not the track which ends with a big steep bit at the end and drops off down to the river,if you turn left it takes you over to the wooden bridge?? or am i in the wrong place??

Votchy - I think he did,I thought he looked rather a lot like you 😉

Wow, something else with the same dashing good looks and debonair smile 😉

Roughly follows the edge of the forest.
The leafy chute is next the 'C' of corbets park
Yes, the the pipe line is the long straight fire break - it's the main water supply to brum from the elan valley, i think.
The concrete bridge i refer to is across the brook down below where it says Longdon Orchard.

Votchy - are you still off the bike?

i think i know where you are!! is the concrete bridge near the camping cottage type place!!

No, that's along dowels brook near the end of camber, i think.
Sounds like you need a Mick Arms guided tour 😆

DON'T DO ITTTT!!
mick "thunder calves" arms rides are a no mincing area!! 😆

ROTFPML 😆

ha ha i'll give micks guided tour a miss!!

ive heard from someone who went out with him that the pace was relentless!!

well, if you want to see all the good trails, and more importantly, learn the 'correct' trail names, then you need to keep up with the guide! the choice is yours 🙂

I'll inform Mr A about his 'no mincing' reputation, I'm sure he'll be most amused. 😆

*says hello to sp*

Mick's a good chap. i'll get out with him again after i loose some more weight 🙂

Guys - I ride with Mick regularly so he can be slowed down, just has a habit of setting off like a rocket when someone new tags along with the Clent Duffers (TM)

Tim, yes, after op they have told me not to ride until end of Sept, am climbing the walls at the mo although the karma gods have been smiling with the weather, apparently dry dusty trails will be available from the 25th September onwards for at least 2 or 3 days 😀 You on hols or having a slow patch at work?

fozzy - mini moab, the rock drop to the left after the stream at the bottom of camber or the rock drop down to the helicopter landing pad?

no idea what the rock drop at the end of the camber is called..

the rock near the bench just down from the end of jedi, you go through bramble coming off it and you have to pass the snake pit to get to the back of it to come down it.

ive been out a few times with a group off of bikeradar!! im sure muddypuddle is one of them! !!waves!!

you end up on the fire road climb that if you ride it to the top takes you over to the missile silos.

Micks a mincer himself,I've had him. 😉

You on hols or having a slow patch at work?

<Waves hello> tim41, votchy, shinsplints.

The iconic Mr Arms is back in the country - Be afraid, be very afraid 😉

sp - do I know you?

Nowt to be afraid of, he won't be riding that much as Sue will have the car and I can't give him a lift 😉

Bugger, does that mean that i'll have to drive him now instead of you?

Hurry up and get better!!

My new bike should be up and running by the time you're back on the trails, i'm not taking it to the Wyre though as i don't want to get it muddy.... 😉
