If anyone fancies a trip to Gisburn Forest, I ll be there from 16.30 at Cocklet Hill carpark setting off around 17.00, and will be there for two laps so you could arrive for lap two. Lap two 18.15 ish.
 
Would love to Martin but I knackard my knee in at the wkend.

I have a brace like forest gump on my left knee for 6 weeks :cry:

On a good note I only have to use crutches till Monday.

Enjoy :D

Sorry I couldn't be there, as much I wanted to. As I was sitting on the second level of scaffolding, drilling into the wall, I was remembering the new crazy-fast singletrack just before the cottages, near the end. I'll find time again soon.

Those Blue chainrings need a new home!
 
I ll be there again tomorrow eve between 16.30&17.00 then more than likely lap two around 18.15/18.20 ish.

Prob on full rigid Parkpre Pro 825, as this will be a Mayhem race bike.
 
Just seen this thread. At a meeting tomorrow but might get back in time to have a drive up. Will let you know if I'm coming :D

Arrived back at Cocklet Hill after a great 2nd lap 19:37, a lot of people to reel in and overtake this time(10 plus), including a kind bunch who thought it necessary to deal with a mechanical accross the whole width of the trail.

big ring used 3 times per lap and granny ring used twice per lap (loose climb at end of quarry bit, and steep climb after root bit before wood)

bike was ace and a flying machine as always.
