Fifteen riders set off from Moor Top car park, yes 15 for one of Ian's forrest rides! From the car park you can see the new trail being built, but it's not ready yet, so we headed south west on the forrest roads then right down the technical track to Lawson Park and along to the road near Black Beck Cottage. Then a lane ride along the waters edge south until a left turn up a steep track back into the forrest and Parkamoor and east until a rocky downhill to end up near Satterthwaite and the Eagles Head, where 5 enjoyed chips and the rest of the group split off and headed back via Bogle Crag wood early, leaving the last 5, lead by Ian to wrestle with some epic single track. Ride up a steep track from Satterthwaite village up Breasty Haw along single track until the road, then head left for a few hundred yards before a bridleway on the left tacks you up more track back into the forrest climb up and over and end by forrest road back to Moor Top. Less than 3 hours, but maybe we start at Satterthwaite next time so we can all enjoy the single track and end up at the pub!!!
PS: ...and only one puncture (Jamie enjoying the downhill, again) ride safe and see you next time.
