Well I have had 2 good rides this week, 1st was a good ride out along Whitbarrow Scar, it's a techy climb that leads to a huge limestone playground. ImageUploadedByArbtalk1437324116.627912.jpg.d557d51ffac09fb71f28d5c425dee540.jpg I then went along the top of the scar which has lots of good decents and techy assents, I dropped down at the end into Witherslack woods and had a couple of laps of the woodland trails. 25k. Today I went out with the Mrs and little lad for a gentle ride to Stavley where the Mrs and lad went on the play park while I had a quick blast up into Kentmere and hit an awesome downhill trail in HP woods, well the woods have been clear felled leaving a very open techy decent, big boulders and ledges, made even more difficult because it's in the wet. Then on to Wilfs cafe for a well earned lunch before heading home. 30k done. I'm having the day off on Tuesday as I'm going to Whinlatter trail Center for some Forrest trails with a mate, I have also entered a big event up in Fort William in September called Tour De Ben Nevis, 68k MTB endurance race. So I need to get training!!

That's cool woodworks, it's great fun and keeps you fit. Yes it is a 29er woodworks, I love it , it rolls along well and I don't find it hard to handle. I have just ordered a new full suspension 29er also for the rougher stuff, 4 weeks to wait though:(
