My response would have started...A few weeks ago…”I’ve Been Hiking For 25 years!!! “, they lectured me.
WOW, That’s amazing. I said. You must be tired.
Holy S**t, they thought they were gods gift to nature.
25 years? Really? Almost as long as I've been riding mountain bikes in the hills! Now f**k off!

We didn’t take part in the event, that was last weekend, we just went and rode some of the trails today as they’re not far from us. 7 stages in total
OH! I wanted to say that! I really did, it was killing me inside. But I want to mend the divide between hikers and MTB’ers…just kidding
…they get in my way all the time.

Been working up to this gap jump for a while, finally put the big boy pants on and cleared it.
All the stage signs said, no riding these trail outside of the event, don't upload to the internet lol.We didn’t take part in the event, that was last weekend, we just went and rode some of the trails today as they’re not far from us. 7 stages in total
Maybe it’s the camera angle …but how wide are your bars?
The left/right position of the brake levers gives me nightmares

Only a few of the stages are on private land, the others aren’t and are fine to ride all year round. However, some of these are in grouse territory so have to be avoided in shooting season
As above.. we rode a good few of the stages a week after the event last year ..
Couldn't make today's ride down in N.Yorks with a few of the lads ..but managed to get out late afternoon from my door and headed over the moor to the Pundershaw area of Kielder Forest ..on some b/ways & tracks which are only ridden ( in the main ) by locals ..with it being "summer" some good trails are hidden by the height of the grass & bracken so it's a bit of a leap of faith riding them blind ..but only two tumbles ..both with a soft landing
Slight difference in the figures as I forgot to start the recording until after the first big climb..so the distance covered would be +1mile and the ascent the same as the descent ..

Nice little local tonight just before dark.
780mm bars - the trees are slightly offset and maybe a couple of cm clearance so it need a fast wiggle!Maybe it’s the camera angle …but how wide are your bars?

I do like a good wiggle in between tight trees

The North Shore of Vancouver has some classic trails, one of which is Boundary. It used to have more high consequence features on it but since they are difficult to maintain, the trail is becoming more and more raw. The one that still remains is known as My Way or the Highway. It is NOT the most difficult feature on the trail but it looks interesting!
There were some big trees around here...

Cracking ride out yesterday on the Western edge of the North Yorkshire Moors courtesy of @JFDI and in the company Rod, Phil, Steve and another Dave. Unfortunately my conjoined riding marra @The Hodge couldn’t join us for this ride. Shame
Meeting at Lordstones cafe no too far away from Stokesley we headed out in sunshine and a gentle breeze that blew harder on the moor tops. I can’t tell you the names of the trails we rode as I followed blindly on this my first proper ride in this part of Yorksha.
The trails were fast dryish (the odd bog here and there that I always seemed to take the deepest and smelliest line) steep technical fast flowing singletrack, varied rooty, rock strewn climbs, lovely flowing single track traversing the valley sides. A good day out on the Great Whyte. One sign I did often often was Cleveland Way.
Cheers Dave and the rest of the guys for a good day out in good company.
This is the famous new Bilsdale TV mast replacing the previous one that burned to the ground.

I love your phrase ‘high consequence features’ . Over here we would say ‘broken collarbone’

Looks glorious. Last of The Summer Wine on wheels. No offence
True but it's not uncommon to fall off something and break a wrists, ribs, arms, tear tendons or at least end up with a concussion. It never ceases to amaze me when riders walk away from some of their unfortunate miscalculations. My last big "off" earned me a plate with 9 screws in my heel bone!I love your phrase ‘high consequence features’ . Over here we would say ‘broken collarbone’
Best advice I ever got was to never get old and never get injured. I am not very capable of following good advice.

@The Hodge Ha ha yes too many new names to remember at once! I think Phil W is the only one with my number - or PM me on here and I'll send it (I can't PM until I have 10 posts but think I can reply). You have probably worked out or know that I was a close friend of Richy's for 40+ years and am Mike's (older) brotherHI Dave ..welcome to the forum first of all..sorry I couldn't join you on yesterday's ride ..but Dave is going to forward me your details to add you to our WhatsApp group ..so look forward to riding with you in the not too distant ..

Hi Dave ..yeah all worked out at my end.
I think Dave was getting in touch with Phil to get your details ..so best that I leave it that way for now ..otherwise it might get too complicated
.I only knew Richy for a very short time ..but he's left a lasting impression ..and is greatly missed .
Catch you soon ..
