Pennine Massive Mountain Bikers... Anyone fancy dalby forest?

[Paul the 6th]

actually looking at that dalby red route video it doesn't look too scarey? Nothing ridiculously dangerous on it, no 10ft drop offs or such like just not sure whether the video accurately portrays how steep the climbs & descents are but hey ho, find out when we get there and all that

oooof looks a bit hard for me tbh. My bike is like the gt one matt showed but without the forks and road tyres you cant even for 2" rubber to it

anyhoo let us know what your thinking. On a side note we could allways just call round for a beer close to matt (as hes got a youngun) if ya fancy?

I might be up for this, let me know when you're thinking and I'll see what the pennies are like!

If you're bringing the OH's I'll have a word with Kat and see if she fancies it (she despises push biking though...)

Oh, and my bike aint up to much either, it's one of these:

Not completely bottom-of-the-range £50 asda jobby, but it's not a super lightweight mud demon that costs more than an SV like matt's old one was! Should be able to handle most stuff providing there aren't any ridiculous drops, but by the sounds of it, that aint what we're planning anyway??

Thats a bit random, blondie and Chase and Status on the same bill. Not fussed about the blondie but Im loving C&S at the moment.
Time and flashing lights are both right tracks,
Heavy (with Dizzee Rascal) is a giggle but I like it,
Blind Faith, proper headonistic - love it.
Brixton Briefcase is a proper spliff track

But my favorite fave has got to be hypest hype - ride to that whilst trying to keep it legal, its impossible.

Your bike will be fine bobit, it'll be XC riding nothing that a bike like that cant handle.


Spoke to Abi about this last night and she's up for it Saturday boys riding girls chatting (and baby sitting) Saturday night BBQ and camping.
Sounds like a plan - pick a weekend.

Oh and andy this is a manual:

hurrah for roberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt... more ppl = more laughs

Been working in manchester all day yesterday and today, I'll see what dani sez.. Like your missus rob she doesn't seem all that interested in biking/trails etc. so would be good if there's some women folk to socialise with eachother while we're off having the fun
