GRIZEDALE M.T.B. CHALLENGE 2005

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 this time it quite dry for the Lake District'
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 great September's full throttle blast around Grizedale Forest in the Lake District"
Chiefy & his riding mates,  Rammstein & Treehugger were  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 light wind blowing on the hill tops, so the damp was getting cleared fast, we did see the hazy sun but not much.

The trail was well marked out so this year no chance of getting lost, not like two years ago 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.
