Neam bike ride
 
Hi guys does anyone fancy a bike (meet) ride.
I was thinking of organising a Neam bike ride it would be for a Saturday or Sunday no specific date yet. I was thinking of the red route at hamsterley forest and would be around 12 miles and take approx 3.5h with breaks.
The ride consists of single track forest trails, fire roads there's a couple of climbs on fire road and weaving down forest trails
Nothing to strenuous my wife and kids have done it although it's still quite tiring.
It will be at a steady pace not balls out and the plan would be to go as fast as the slowest rider.
A would say any mountain bike hybrid or cyclecross etc would be fine but a road bike would be no good.copy and paste the link below in your browser for a look at the planned route

Pikes Teeth

Route 666 / Oddsox + 2 other little trails

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_mc9zCL3Tg

Transmission / Accelerator / Nitrous

Section 13 / Bone Shaker / Special K / Brain Freeze

Then I normally head back to the car park.....these trails would take around 4hrs to do but well worth it....;)
