I promise to try when fully recovered! Did it about two years ago with Martin, took me 2 hours 35 mins so hopefully i will be faster this time. Also think we should do a night time test aswell. If weather stays good aim for that this Thursday?

That time above was just mine…. Richards Time was 2hrs 15 08secs

my bike is Trek Fuel EX 8 2009 model.

richards is cannondale rush 4 carbon

goind to crack the 2 hour mark soon ….

A while since I have timed myself around the route but I will endeavour to try this week for a new time and I will see if I can beat my time in 2008.

Watch this space……. 

Oh I am so upset you would level such a comment at me. 

As if I would hold back your time deliberately…… As you know it was you who let us down by not paying the £20 in time for us to fabricate your red route times!

But Seriously:

I have no idea how Dan fixed the table on the site to get your time in.. he's the man!

its rough on a hardtail! all of it! even the smooth!

Two words, Tom. Rigid. Singlespeed.

I haven't actually fixed the table. All I'm doing is writing new words in the existing boxes. That's fine so long as we never have more than four people on the leaderboard. After that, it all goes a bit pear shaped.  I can't seem to add extra rows…

Well I went for it this morning…….after 1.30mins I was (from looking at the Pickering three route profile on Garmin) 10 mins up but then disaster my rear derailleur on  shift jammed and the cage bent and went into the wheel.  So a limp home and look a like an expensive replacement of my SRAM X-0

I had seen the chain reaction prices for XO so ordered one from there.  Thanks anyway.  The 2006 fat possum weighs just over 30lb. 

Its a very good bike for the prices you can pick them for.

Hi there, this is my first post on this site.

Tried to add my red route time on but can't find the board…

1.57.12 in June this year. In the dry with no stops (or hold ups)

I think I can do a 1.50! I'll let you know if I do.

Cheers

The dalby times are not on the site anymore!!!

Whats happened??

I don't know where they went, but after Carl's advice today I found an earlier draft and re-uploaded it. So they're back.

I reckon it would be good to do the route one evening with a few who have a similar time and see who can get round the quickest; having the others to chase or behind would encourage all to ride faster. It's best to start about 6.30ish to avoid groups and slower riders. Any takers?

I will make this thursday eve's ride Dalby. so maybe some good times could be posted! Let me know preferred meeting place. Don't worry the new Thursday evening beginners will not be made to join in. I plan to show the group some of the old red etc. The beginners will meet green gate i excpect.

Hi the Green Gate otherwise know as the fire tower to older riders is the junction where the toll booth is on the main forest drive, just at the point where the road turns right to Dixons hollow area. We park at these cross roads because they close the gates around 8pm! There isn't actually a green gate or fire tower ( dismantled long ago)! Quickest way in is from Langdale End entrance or if coming from Pickering way turn up on road in Ebberston, it is not in brill condition tho.

Under two hours, Rich? You're flying lately. You on drugs or summat?

Just a quick question, any reason why there is a difference of over a mile between the two Garmin recorded times? I see one is from May and one June, did the route change between the two times? Or does one of you go back and do the bomb holes twice!!

Mike.

I am impressed Rich, think it's the new shorts that make the difference. Oh and many thanks for your help with the beginners group last week. 

Hi all, thought I'd add my time if thats okay?

Have riden with you guys a few times - very enjoyable - but Im not a regular at the moment…

Rode today Sunday 12th 2pm, my time for Red 1:54:07. Sorry no Garmin to back up the claim, just my bike computer.

Had a couple of minor hold ups to pass the `leisure` riders, but didnt have any stops.

Bike: Boardman Team hardtail, running tubed 2.10 Maxxix Aspen at rear, 2.2 Maxxis Aspen front.

Cheers, Nick Wilson
