Meet at little shop for a Lecky ride. Lots of options, depending on weather. Also lots of gates now as well
As discussed last week, meet at little shop by roundabout for a Crippets ride 6:15. Those of you driving could always meet us at the old start part for a Crippets ride if you like? Cheers
Hi Guys How about a ride starting in Upton (usual meeting spot outside Hall) and heading upto beacon? Climb could be hard work but Painswick drains well, so hopefully riding will be good. Cheers p.s. better do a test run this week to check my shock is now sorted.
Meet near Alastairs pad and ride up Timbercombe and beyond? Now we know why there are so many new gates appearing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-17866184 Cleeve Hill ride. Suggest 6:30 to give people time to get there. Meet at usual place. Meet at roundabout by little shop for a Lecky ride. Fingers crossed it will be dry.

updated – no one wants to brave the heavy rain….Tuesday 3rd April, Leckhampton shop 1815Posted by tarmacalastair in RidesLet’s postpone till next week as it’s horrible out there! Let’s meet outside Nisa on the roundabout. Will decide on the route according to the weather. Please post. Alastair Update 31/03/12 – agreement The Buckholt Wood trails we can ride are shown on the map: http://www.bigfootmbc.co.uk/2012/03/cranham-update/ Natural England map of permitted cycle routes in Buckholt Wood East-West trail, SO 9032 1337 to SO 8921 1352 An unnamed (shared use) trail which runs approximately from SO 893 130 via SO 890 132 to SO 884 130 Please be considerate towards other trail users – slow down near walkers, dogs, horses etc, let them know you are there and pass them carefully. This includes trails considered as singletrack – cyclists do not have exclusive use of any trail We intend to review this agreement after a period of time – at this point we can assess how it’s working and whether any changes are needed. We will continue to use the lines of communication established between the cycling community, Natural England and the forestry manager to resolve problems or make changes. This might include: Where seasonal or temporary variations need to be made, for example during forestry operations All CC-CC and Bigfoot members taking part in organised club rides will have third party insurance (provided by CTC or equivalent). What happens next? We will need a few more days to agree the precise content of the code of conduct with NE and the landowner, but we don’t expect this to change massively. We should be OK to start riding the trails again from Good Friday. Natural England will sort out the signboards, leaflets and trail waymarks in due course. Roger has published the draft agreement we drew up on Singletrackworld Warm sunny and dry – let’s do the ride from Edge church (tree roots won’t be a problem) and maybe even do the old hospital bit too? Ride at 6:30 – please post if riding etc. ps Tony – was planning Wainlodes but would prefer daylight for routefinding!! |
