looks like the golf club may be extending if theyre closing bits of trails off,ill bring my tin snips lol

 

[MJN]

Don't know but some of it is well away from the golf club,dog walkers don't seem to be taking much notice.

when in rome.................lol,im sure itll be fine

 

[longun]

rode atkies and quibell woods today,bit gloopy so bring well equiped tryes n a change of clothes,1st ride ss aswell,wasnt as bad as i thought but road miles were strange,lots of spinning circles,legs feel better for it tho

 

[Pickle]

Whats the road to trail ratio?

 

[MJN]

Depends on the route they've chosen,if you use somr of the little known bridleways there's not actually that much road,I've just done a loop taking in Brumby woods,Hempdykes,Akies,Flixborough woods,Burton hills,Dragonby mines and back to Akies and Brumby woods and would say 75% was off-road,pants compared to last weeks ride in Dalby,but off-road
The mines are pretty cut up from motor cross bikes though,what was singletrack a couple of years ago is about 3m wide now :cry:

road bits only really from my house in gunness into scunthorpe bud,not much in between at all

 

[Pickle]

2 weeks guys.....are we all good?

Decided to stick with my 32x18 ratio. Spinning a lot on the road, but off road it seems to be the ideal ratio for me

 

[MJN]

With all this snow its gonna be muddy! Best to decide your gearing off road,everyone spins like crazy on the road even on a mtb with full gears
Any word yet from Chewdpencil?
