Discussion
sh*t sorry Al again mate! I could see you were on when I posted and thought you'd see my posting.
pm me your phone number matey.
OMG it was superb, 7:30 when the rest of the world still hadn't put their clocks forward....completely empty.
Probably the most enjoyable drive I've had ever - that bottom stretch before you turn left and go up to whitby.....so fast, fantastic road visibility ahead of you. Then it tightens up on the b road back to Hemsley...but still fast for a b-road.
Absolutely loved it. Let's get a hoon sorted eh Stub? I'll volunteer if you like....though of course you are the master at this
Only thing I need is to find somewhere on the 'ring I can stop for breakfast...

Sounds like you had fun Kenny, I too was up at the crack of dawn on Sunday, stashed the bike in the car and took an extremely scenic route to Dalby forest.
Went to thornton-le-dale, A169, Fylingdales, in a big loop up to Robinhoods bays then back along the coast to the top end of the Forest drive, absolutely no-one about, granted I might not have been going as fast as you but it was still good fun!

Nope, I dont know of a Pete. But, its unsuprising. Without being a biker you wouldn't realise that Dalby is a bit of a bikers mecca, very popular! It was heaving yesterday thanks to the weather - had an excellent day. If you've never tried a bit of 'proper' mountainbiking its an excellent place to start, got a good fleet of hire bikes. Also a nice place to go just for a wander round, or a bbq etc.
They have this new attraction called 'go ape', a set of ladder bridges, wire ropes slides and massive valley traverses, all suspended waaay up in the trees. One part is easily 100ft up in the air

Nice one Simon - it was lovely early morning wasn't it? a bit misty high up and that was it.

Used to go all over, mainly up into the Dales and over towards Cumbria. I have two Scott alluminiums in the shed somewhere, one fully suspended and one full rigid (which I prefer by a mile!) ... only thing is, I haven't ridden them for about 10 years!!!

I was never heavily into MB'ing like you guys by the sounds of things, but I could never get used to a full suspension setup on mine, always prefered a rigid frame with front shocks only
