Born and bred in Hessle / Willerby.
Jeez that run from Swanland down to Ferriby foreshore through the woods brings back memories. We used to start up at Blue Circle at Scout Wood then smash it all the way down to the foreshore. We'd then go all the way along humber bank into town to do some technical urban work then back over to Hessle. My old cycling pals lived in Swanland and Ferriby hehehehe
That was in 1987 !
I took a nasty fall in Scout Wood, famously. Went down a little track i found between the trees on a stupid incline, in the wet, autumn time. Flew over the bars, did a 'Superman' into a tree head first, did a 360 mid air before landing on the floor in a heap, knocked out. I smashed my new helmet, It was the first time i'd worn one, ever and also wrote off the skiing glggles i used to wear to cover my four eyes.
Did all that on a 1987, Yellow Specialized Rockhopper which I upgraded to the hilt over the years.
Jeez...meeeemories hehehehe
