Post by Big Bear »

Hi All,

Meet in the Overflow car park of the Fox & Rabbit pub (on the A169, 3 miles north of Pickering) at 18.45 to be riding at 19.00 for a couple of hours. All welcome as we will mainly be in Dalby.

All the best
David

Hey all,

I'm new to the region (I'll be working for a few months in York at the University, then I'll be back in France) and I'd like to join, to see how it goes and why not join the club for the summer.

How many miles do you plan on doing ? Because I'm not fit enough to ride 30 miles of forest, especially with my bike (built to go downhill or on 4X/bmx tracks, 1 single 36T chainring with chainguide is, as it has been proved before, not really the best setup to ride long distances with hills :D).

Well I could, probably, depends on everyone else's speed and if some people are willing to wait for me :)

I have my car so it wouldn't be a problem getting to the Fox & Rabbit inn.

Maybe see you all soon

Cheers,
JL

Well thanks for the ride, and thanks for waiting for me at about every climb :P

Although it was nice, I'm not fit enough nor have the right bike for this sort of trails.
I'll probably go back to Dixon's Hollow or the different trails we rode in the end, but I will climb that on foot :)

Wish the best to Paul!
