After various discussions at the weekender it was decided to do Cutgate hopefully before the weather turns and it becomes a bog .
Classic North peaks riding with flowing single track , steady climbs , brutal climbs and awesome descents .

Re:

Right guys and any secret gals it's this weekend so I need some definite names and numbers now so who is coming ? I've had a request from 1 rider up North if it's possible to move it forward to Saturday , I don't have a problem but if it causes an issue for others then it stays as Sunday (he should be coming either day but given the travel distance it's easier for him on Sat ).
