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. |
