Absolutely cracking upgrade to the trails!!

The Red is now superb!! Lost a spoke and a bit of skin on the new Black section but its non-stop fun 🙂

Has really moved Llandegla up a notch or two 🙂

Cheers

Definitely *anti*-clockwise to include Middle Moor near the end.

🙂

YMMV

I did manage to get some large Endura overbooteees over my 5.10 Freeriders last winter. The SPD hole did allow some grip.

A few on here

can recommend Long Mynd Long.

Cheers, Paul.

Is this an excuse to show how gnarly you ride or just how far..? 😉

Did this loop around the Peak.

Torside Res (Longendale) > Trans Pennine Trail > Hadfield > vaguely followed TPT and Pennine Bridleway until Lantern Pike > PBW thru Hayfield > Roych Clough > Rushup Edge > Mam Tor > Edale > Jaggers Clough > Roman Road > Rowlee farm ascent > Lockerbrook descent > along to Cranberry Clough > Cutgate > Langsett via NA farm > BW and TPT to Dunford Bridge > TPT over Woodhead Pass back to start.

Hit the wall going up Cranberry Clough, not nice…

…a great way to see the Peak though 🙂 recommended.

Cheers, Paul.

Sorry, the routes I know start from Alwinton.

You’ve probably searched the forum for ‘Cheviots’…

…its a lovely area.

Cheers.

Talking of Elbow…
…Craig Potter at Manchester Apollo during ‘Incaged Monkeys’ gig.

Rothbury, Alwinton for the Cheviots. Coast for days off…

Brook’s Drive

Follow the brown dots from Brooklands roundabout, back roads and cycleway around airport…clockwise or anti-clockwise (option of some bridleways near Styal).

Crumbs, radar shows rainfall all day so far! Hats of to the real men and women!!

Cutgate, Whinstone Lee Tor, Crook Hill, Hagg Side and Lockerbrook were lovely this morning (wimp)!!

B&B on Red route…[/url]

The Brake Pad at Kirri!!!

Great, great service, kept my holiday on track!!!!

Thank You 🙂

Paul

P.S. North West MTB Centre, consistently great.

8 day weather charts[/url]

Those with a yen for weather forecasts can torture yourselves with the pressure charts at the top left of the link above 😉

Time for a lie down…

BTW – that reference quoted by Crikey is very poor and not worth the electricity used to display it on your screen…
…they are blagging for donations.

SBZ

Obviously need more practise… 🙂

Edge of Darkness – cool, edgy!

A Very Peculiar Practice – a bit black…

I’m doing the PBW too…

…in sections!!

Respect! A good day for it 🙂

Hope it worked out!!

f you do it anti-clockwise, don’t come down chapelgate – it’s awful now.
Go over the full rushup edge and then down Mam Tor (couple of options) back to Barber Booth.

Thanks for the heads up! Did this starting out and over the hills from Marple (Roman Lakes) yesterday morning. Makes for a great 35 miler :))

Very nice vibe. Thank you 🙂

Are we look longer than that time wise?

The route I described (anti-clockwise) should probably be a little under 5 hours given your example…

However, if you want to make it a decent length outing…

Hollins Cross > Edale > Jacobs > Kinderlow End > Kinder Res. > Middle Moor > Lantern Pike > Birch Vale > Cloughead/Chinley Churn > New Allotments > Peep O Day > Mt Famine > Roych Clough > Rushup…

Middle Moor is worth the extra alone 🙂

Cheers

Oh, security…

…bury huge concrete block with ground anchor underneath shed. Attach bikes with big motorbike chains and locks etc.

P.S. have tweeted North West MTB Centre.

Am in Heaton Mersey, will keep an eye out…
..b***er!

Keeps of those harmful UV rays from the bald bonce.

Keeps sweat out of the eyes and off the glass.

Keeps you cooler if you are bald…

YMMV 🙂

Picnic area car park

Is a good spot to start/finish.

I would come along but am off to Dumfries and Galloway for the week :))) though weather forecast a bit pants 🙁
Cheers
Paul

Yes…

I did it clockwise the day before the ‘Wedding’. Starting from near Cowpe. The gated bit allows you to ease into it.

I found all bar the hill out of Bottomley ridable that way round.

Any idea of a target time? I have an interest in the Kielder 100…

Cheers
Paul

Aye, go to Dalby and while you’re there pop in to Purple Mountain and buy this

NYM guide

Enjoy 🙂

Route pretty much in line with the map in content. Road, fire road, moors etc. Although the loop out of Goathland was different.

One key fork/junction was unmarked. Maybe sign had been removed. Might be a bit tricky filling up more of the red route with riders?

Enjoyed my day out. Thank you to everyone :))

Paul

Bump… 🙂

Event info[/url] – including feeding stations.

Yes, hoping for a steady, relaxed ride 🙂 we shall see!!

Alongside Metrolink = alongside canal. Towpath towards Manc then cut under onto Mersey by Stretford Cruising Club (Canal Boats!!!!). Otherwise Dane Road area takes you to Sale Water park (!!) and the Mersey…

Bridgewater Way along the canal tow path…

Binners +10

Great link too.

Wish I’d written the piece.

Sorting the drivetrain/slipping gears…

…hopefully.

Testing between the rains.

Got my big ride in during the week :))

Cheers

BW from Stalling Busk to Marsett[/url] by clarkpm4242[/url], on Flickr

En route from Horton-in-Ribblesdale to Kirkby Stephen yesterday, via a few places, 45miles and 6000ft. Lovely day. The stream is the BW…

…forgot to include the bike!!

Cheers
Paul (apols for the phone camera quality)

Stinging salty sweat…normal!

Headband/Buff keeps it away 🙂

NyA felt a tad more than an hour away but is very nice and worth a visit.
