@themtbpeach if you go past the main turning on your left , cary on about 150 yards and it's on your left buddy , horrible climb but about 4 trails that all start as you go over the wall

@AverageDad202220 күн бұрын
@themtbpeach if you park in the big layby just outside the village , you need to cycle up the road about a Mile or so and you will see a road turning left going up into the woods , this leads to the main trails, if you carry on without going up that turning there is another turning that's like a walkers path you go up that right to the top and follow it to the woods , if you look on my strava you will see it 🤙

It's amazing how the small crashes can f you up more than big ones, for example over the bars at dirt farm was much bigger but no damage. I'm glad you're ok Dad. I do wonder how I will cope with such steep trails when I eventually try some.

Has your mate had any problems with the damper in the zeb forks on the whyte e160s? I’ve got two bikes the same in gloss grey the damper failed on one of them and rockshox replaced it with the £360 upgraded damper with high and low compression I’m hoping the second bike has the same problem before the forks run out of warranty it’s a common fault apparently
