My freinds and I have been riding in the ambergate area of Derbyshire and have come up with an excellent short cross country mountain biking circuit. The details of which can be found here at EveryTrail The ride is only approximately 11 miles and can be completed in an hour (on a dry day). It encompasses some great downhill sections and some technical uphills sections. Be sure to check out the helmet cam link to view some youtube footage of the route.
Here’s a pic of my new bike, absolutely awesome ride, such a good climber. It’s about 28lbs (yet to confirm) 140mm travel front and rear. The VPP system makes climbing a breeze, here’s a Full spec. Here’s a link to the Santa Cruz Site and here is a great review of the bike which effectively decided which bike I would get Bike Radar
Myself and 2 mates, Bri and Anth, had a great ride out in Derbyshire over the weekend. We covered approx 35 miles we think, taking in the sights of Allport, Kirk Ireton, Carsington Water, Middleton Top, Black Rock and Shining Cliff Woods. It was quite a long ride and very cold but highly enjoyable here is some pics from the ride.
