Moorland cycling places still available

After a good walk with the team up Scafell on Saturday night it was a drive back home then out on the moors with a small group which saw us have a good ride over Darwen moors.  Firstly well done to the team on the 3 peaks challenge on their achievement, that's another item ticked off the wish list, good luck with the next item whatever it may be but don't call me if it's crockadile fishing!
So the Sunday was a bit blustery but with the group we had a look at how to approach certain types of gradients with different terrain underneath our wheels, we looked at gear choice in our approach, and this led to some good cycling to get up onto the tops, then we looked at a bit of trail cycle navigation before having a foot recce on some decent trails before getting on the bikes to get us back home. 
All in all a cracking weekend, apart from Rovers loosing at Newcastle who are on a good start to the season.
There are still some places left on the cycling for the 8th October, have a look under the Trail cycling header for details.
