Hi,
Thought i'd start a MTB only thread.
So if anyone wants advice, wants to discuss good routes (as most MTB forums are southern based when most RL fans are up north it could work)
Also some buying/selling maybe?
No offence to the road cyclists, but it's not something I enjoy. Riding on the road frightens the life out of me. If I fall off road and hurt myself, it's my fault and at least i've seen what's done me coming!
Cheers,
Jonny

You'll get some input from me on here as well fella I do both road and mountain. Ride a kona cadabra, but not as often as I'd like to. Due to work I need lots of notice to get out riding with people plus you have to drive everywhere so road biking is easier. Though only just back after being hit by a car last year. Live in tyldesley so not far from you.

Nice one. I had a Kona Blast Deluxe until December when I bought this...

Nice!!!!!!! they get really good write ups. Nearly bought one myself
The only place I know around here is Rivvy and healy nab. Go over to Lee Quarry sometimes, but i'm not that keen on it. I like a flowing bike ride and Lee doesn't give you that. Though I know it's good for sessioning and would improve my skills I just get bored there to quickly. Go to Llandeglla when I can and still want to get to Gisburn as not been. Also like Whinlatter and Grizedale, but need people to go with really when you go that far up north.
What about you?

Been to Delamere a few times but getting a bit bored of it now.
I was going to head towards North Wales today but bust my ankle playing football last night. Gutted.
I know Rivvy quite well being from Leigh and have got Healy Nab and Lee Quarry on my hitlist.

Seem a decent bunch, and I'm sure I've nearly rode into a few of them this week!
I sold my first MTB to a lad from the woolybacks, they invited me to join a few times, but i've never got round to it.
