We have a wealth of urban areas here in Yorkshire which I would love to explore. Anyone got any ideas for an urban ride, finding lots of steps and drops and fun stuff to ride around on? Could anyone lead such a ride? Would be nice to do something like this one evening maybe during winter, or at the weekend for a longer jaunt. Would mean less cleaning of bikes but a whole heap of fun..
I take it that the DMR is almost ready and you've been watching Chainspotting Rob
The problem with urban riding is Cars, Coffin dodgers, Crazy Woman with prams, Dogs, etc. etc :roll:
Most of the steps and drops I've come a cross in towns and city's are on pavements (Which are NOT legal to ride) so that means most of the time you have to ride on the roads and there are bike especially for that job

The simple answer is yes BUT......
For it to be an official RetroBike ride and promoted as such, It needs to be reccied buy an AEC or Deputy, Also their needs to be an AEC or Deputy attending the event as well.
Probably... the best way to organise an urban ride, would be to find two or more skate/jump spots ride one and then use any urban singletrack to ride to the next, with a cafe/chippy on route (NO PUBS
)
If you want to do the route planing etc I'll meet up with you for the recce and I'm sure we can find a slot in the calender if there's enough interest ??
