Leeds Off Road

Today's ride was a great sunny ride with the ground conditions dry with very little mud. This is a first for this location, from our previous visits. So hopefully after tonight's rain the conditions should still be firm & fast.

We have been using our new memory map GPS units which provide full details of your maximum speed and a full speed profile for the route. Today Mark beat my maximum speed by 0.6 MPH. Yesterday Dean was able to see which shop I popped into to get some food. This could be too much like big brother. So I have a feeling the tracks may mysteriously get deleted in future :)

On the medium & long route beware of the down steps as the final step is too dangerous for most people to ride down. They will be signed.

See you tomorrow!

Hi. It was a first real MTB experience for me and my friend. Wanted to complete short route at first, but when the split point has been reached, understood, that is not enough for us and went for medium route. It was absolutely amazing. Due to the weather condition this event really became a mud-messy carnival and a good fitness test. The route was very nice as well. A lot of hills, up and down. Unexpected last technical downhill trail. Oh, holly molly. That day, you guys, have had to change those signs for another ones. Get off your bike, looser, or something like this.
Thank You Very much.
Hope, i'll take a part in others RideIt!
I'm Sorry about my English.

I have to complete, that i lost my hardtail frame during this event, and found my wheels empty next day. Even a new Kenda Heavy Duty Downhill Tube, which one has 2.25mm wall thickness. V-Brakes was free of rubber after ride. Was it a nice Ride? Yes it was!!!
