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 and a very, very wet course
.... "a bit like riding in a stream"
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 a strong wind blowing on the hill tops, so the damp
and mist was getting cleared fast, we did see the odd bit of
hazy sun but not much.
The trail was well marked out so this year no chance of getting
lost, not like last year even I managed to navigate around O.K.
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. |
