That video looks great.

I can’t make it on Wednesday as I’m working but are them trails open any time as some look a bit cheeky ?

Looks like some good singletrack I’m missing out on.

yeah it’s open all the time, I used to ride around there all the time when I was a kid. There’s some nice stuff, most of it isn’t that long though. just takes a bit of looking around.

Cheers Wors

Brings back memories! I did a couple of races there in the mid nineties in lurid Bolton mountain bikes colours

Think i now have a couple more riders coming with me to enjoy the nice weather and what should be a fast course… 🙂

I’ll be along 🙂

May stick the semislicks on if it stays like this!

I think I’m going to enter today, nice little bimble in the sun

great, hoping to see a full field of racers

one last cheeky post 😉

lunch time bump

don’t forget you can pay tonight for £12

Well that was hard (fun). Felt like I was slowly progressing out the back for the entire of the race. Had forgotten just how hard a one hour race can be!

River crossing was interesting…think it was getting deeper each lap as people pushed the rocks further and further away 🙂

Good race, well done to the organisers.

Yup, really enjoyed it. Didnt realise you could get that much riding into a park in Bolton.

Really liked the single track bits with roots on, normal riding for me

was a good turn out! cheers for all that turned up & raced 😉
