The info:
Grizedale Forest has some of the best mountain biking trails
in all of the Lake District, and the G.M.B.C. has put
together a fantastic course to test you to the limit, with a
big bonus of brilliant views. The course is run entirely
over forestry land so inevitably this creates a real mix of
terrain for the riders. The singletrack is fast, exciting
and a little testing in places, the fireroad is sweet relief
and the 'landrover tracks' can make you wish you had
four-wheel drive! It climbs to a height of 294m and this
being the Lake District means the views are stunning. No
other event in England can claim to have all of this.! |

 "A
September's very wet and rainy day"
Chiefy is at
the Grizedale Forest Park in the heart of the Lake District. Air
horn goes and we are off, the course was excellent, it had
everything from fast fire roads, up-hills, down-hills,
single-tracks, walking-bits, riding up & down streams oh yes, &
two technical-sections, tree roots and all. There was no wind so
the damp and mist hung around, we did see the odd bit of hazy
sun but not much.
The trail was very well marked out so this year no chance of
getting lost. The conditions tested each rider to his or her
limit, you really had to keep your wits about you. The course
snaked its way all over the Grizedale Forest area starting and
finishing back at the main centre.
Get yourself ready for next years event and go and take on
the terrain. |
