DATE.........SUNDAY 15th MARCH 2009 START POINT..........GRIBDALE GATE CAR PARK (Above Gt Ayton Station) START TIME............0900 hours DISTANCE.............16 MILE very approx. PACE..............EASY Starting at Gribdale Gate car park, up towards the Monument but turn off for Kildale, through Kildale and left up past Park Nab. Follow Cleveland Way then turn off down Turkey Nab (Ingleby Bank), ride through Battersby Plantation(bottom trail due to logging) then up Ingleby Incline (serious climbing mode). Ride to Burton Howe and follow track for Baysdale Abbey having some seriously fast downhill fun, then climb out of Baysdale and back to Gribdale as per route on outward journey. Mad tarmac descent to Kildale, and splendid climb back to Coate Moor, descend through forest singletrack to take road back to Gribdale Gate car Park. COME ON, THIS IS AN OPPURTUNITY TO DO SOME FANTASTIC LOCAL CLIMBS THAT YOU'LL REALLY ENJOY Map to follow shortly..........

Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 8:28 pm    Post subject: Mally, climbing the Incline makes climbing the Unsuitables seem like doing a downhill section. It is a very rewarding feat to get as far as the "gate", which John mentions. The problem is, you have to stop to get through the gate, the steepness makes getting back on and pedallingto get started, exceptionally difficult, but possible................ Don't let any of that put you off though, you are more than capable and it's all ruddy good fun And always remember, where we go up we have to come back down at some point See you there _________________ There was a checkpoint charlie He didn't crack a smile...............

I was just lookin at Hamsterley trailblazers site and for their monthly club ride in May they're having an 'away day'. Do you fancy doing something similar for a forum ride later in spring?
