Jules - i'm still here occasionally but yes, mostly riding either by myself, with my son and daughter or with Singletraction.

Bumped into El Boulfadour just before Easter. Still riding but as with the rest of us, kids/work/life limiting his time to make North Leeds rides

<edit> just remembered i bumped into Boris at Glentress just after xmas as well. It's a small world.

Eddy B - i assume you are going to post your 'call to spades' on the SingletrAction website as well ?

PS - Cheeky will probably want to build a pump track up there

Quick query - anyone ridden Meanwood Valley trails recently - has the sunny weather dried out the tracks or are they still churned up ? Was thinking of using them to ride to work this week and was hoping to arrive in a relatively mud free state

 Thanks for any replies !

Stainburn was always a working forest and due for harvesting. Just means there's more possibilities of finding new features to work with. Interestingly enough since the trees exposed the crag up there which we'd always just ridden down part of it's since been cleaned and climbed and a guide produced (Climbing guide to Norwood).

that told me that singletraction have been given permission to go back in and build new trails as soon as the logging is finished. so hopefuly there may be something in there by mid/end of summer.

Always worth reminding folk that singletraction welcomes new members and if you like the tracks up there and want them sooner, then all are welcome to come along and assist in the work to reclaim them.
