This fella’s name is Rob Heap and he has been a regular face at Dalby Forest the last couple of months as he has been clocking up many miles on his Trek XC bike whilst raising money for charity, Captain Tom’s 100

Anyway, last weekend the Forestry Commission told him he could no longer use Dalby Forest for raising money for charity. Naturally Rob was quite upset, especially as he wanted to keep going until end of July. He looked for another venue and Sutton Bank welcomed him with open arms. We bumped into him on the Mini X trail

If any generous emtb’ers want to help his cause then please donate via his link, he would be so happy:

Fridays ride was one I wouldn't recommend to anyone, it was hideously tough, only 18 miles and 4000feet of climbing, but all the ups were unrideable hike a bike, and the downs weren't much better. I think most people would call it character building. Average moving speed of just under 4mph tells you everything you need to know.

Up Rossett Gill, down styhead pass, then up and over stakes pass, a ride best avoided.

Have we all finished bickering? We ought to be bikering instead. Off on my first organised ride for two years today. 500 odd riders, all raising funds for charity, stoked to get on course & I've got my kit ready to cover all eventualities.

Can't lie, It was truly grim. On the bright side, I accidentally went off route by six miles but ended up at a feed station that had really, really good cake.
