There's a few Nova Scotia's around - I'm not sure why....... Fremington Edge's contours are a bit close together! As I said, a nasty climb. If anyone can climb it non-stop without putting a foot down I'll buy them a pint. Possibly. There's also a short sharp road climb but other than that they're not too bad.

He may also be joining us so we'll have a good guide (though his riding will probably put us to shame).

Full write up here but suffice to say that now I'm even more gutted I won't be able to make next week Really enjoyed the ride and the descent from Fell End Moor was great (just wish it was longer). I need to get my Mrs to get a new job - her working Sunday lunch time is a P.I.T.A. as I can never do the rides I want Hope the weather is nice for you as well - what I could make out of the views through the mist today looked great _________________ www.mtbnortheast.ning.com - connecting mountain bikers in the North East.
