Route length will depend on what is decided on the day, if Gil is leading we will be privvy to the best stuff Dalby has to offer, he knows Dalby like the back of his hand.D_XZ":ipgc9jsm said:Hi Guys
Been redirected here from the North Yorks area! Is the route decided? What kind of length/difficulty is this ride likely to be?
I'm undecided between this and the doing a fun entry on the Nutcracker race at Richmond the same weekend. Basically whichever looks easiest as I have no fitness or leg muscle yet! This would be my return to biking ride so I'm expecting to be embarrasingly rubbish!
What bike would be best for this? I have a choice of relaxed 100mm full sus(2003ish), racy hardtail (circa 2000) or retro GT (1992)rigid/maybe sus forks.
Cheers
Routes can always be altered to suit the riders on the ride & the full red is approx 24 miles.
I prefer a full suss round Dalby due to a bad back, it is rideable on any of your bikes though, I'd probably go for the susser (depending on what you mean by relaxed if it's a burly DH monster then no) as there are plenty of fun bits in Dalby & it will offer a comfier ride
My bike choices are '07 140mm Orange 5, '10 100mm Cube AMS Pro full suss & '98 100mm Orange Clockwork all of which are rideable @ Dalby.
You know you wanna come!
Cant beat a Retrobike ride for a great ride
