I'm off out round South Cave Sunday morning before we go to the seaside.

Going to be an early one though, about 7.30am.

Hmm, that's way too early for me, especially on a weekend! Thanks for mentioning though.

Tomorrow ?

Anyway I've said the above before, but it's worth mentioning again, to ride more LOCALLY, especially considering the price of FUEL, CAR SAT NAV, CYCLE CARRIERs, ROOF RACKs, ROOF BOX's, MTB SAT NAV, and not forgetting wear & tear on me, my bike & my car, and a few cheap rugs and covers to stop the MTB's from getting scratched during travelling sabbatical shenanigans.

And what if "Oh no my Forks or Frame is scratched". How much is a touch up stick from Halfords that is a bad match? About £6 for 1 touch up brush/pen in a plain colour (Red, Silver, Black, etc). Unless you're one of those people with a two tone MTB, you'll either have to live with the scratches or spend hours with your MTB in the touch up paint brush/pen section at Halfords finding a similar colour. If the plain colours aren't a good match for your frame/fork colour(s) and opposing silhouette decals (Stickers/Graphics), there is lots of different car colours at £12 for a 3 brush/pen pack (primer/colour/lacquer), you'll have to look for ages to find a similar colour. etc.

MTB INTERACTIVE MAP, ROUTE MAPS & DIRECTIONS (HULL AREA)

MTB DIRECTIONS (HULL AREA)

FULL DETAILS BELOW of CYCLE / BIKE / ROAD / MOUNTAIN BIKE MAPs in/near HULL, HUMBERSIDE:

A list of all local MOUNTAIN BIKE routes and BMX/SKATE parks, are at the bottom of the main map, with interactive links: Focus in on Route Start/Park Area, Route Map or Route Directions. Maps & Directions, are also listed in numbered pages and bookmarks, for browsing.

What with Blackberry & Android mobile phones getting more & more popular, then a 1 file version overall map, would be really useful when you're out & about, and want to know where is fun stuff to ride your MTB.

NOTES:
The directions include photo/map hyperlinks, which when selected will prompt for internet connection.
If I make any revisions to the interactive map, I might rate more of the local BMX parks, suggestions welcome from HUMBERSIDE and/or LINCOLNSHIRE.

Alternatively for people who don't like maps, and prefer just directions, this is attached to the PDF file also, click the attachment symbol in the PDF map (Btm L/H corner, then dbl left click the mtb_routes_hull.htm file) to see my MTB ROUTES in/near HULL:
