49er_Jerry Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Sounds OK. Not really ridden that side of the Peaks. Tend to ride the dark peak more often. If weather is 'fair', I'm taking some neighbours out for a gentle ride, but if it's a bit gnarly I'll be up for it. Will keep an eye on this thread. Where abouts at Graves Park will you be setting out from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgreen Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I see there are a fair few MTB'rs on here and so thought I would just tag a little note to this post. Some of you may ride at Wharncliffe woods, well there are new and exciting developments stirring up under the Crags. Over the last few months The FC has been liaising with a local group of riders who have formed the Wharncliffe Riders Collective (WRC). The FC along with WRC and input from no other than Sheffield’s own MTB Legend Steve Peat, have developed a plan for a new sustainable 10k all year round XC route. Initialially 3 kms of the trail are to be built which had the go ahead last week from the local forester. The WRC will also be developing the nationally famous Down Hill trails that are the main draw of Wharncliffe, this will include new signage to find tracks, additional technical features and new high speed berms at the end of each route to segregate MTB's from other users of the trans pennine trail. The WRC are keen to get everyone and anyone involved in Sheffield’s premier MTB location, over the next few weeks "Dig Days" will be arrange where anyone is welcome to come along, grab a spade and help develop the trails. At the moment the WRC are centered around the Gravity Slaves website at http://www.gravity-slaves.co.uk pop into the Wharncliffe forum to join the WRC. cheers and happy riding Simon. http://www.gravity-slaves.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=10.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
