Cyclocross is always useful - apart from loving cyclocross all my like I always think that one race is worth four training rides in terms of fitness... and it gives you umpteen more tales to tell. Go on - buy yourself a 'cross bike....

Hmmm... only the one crash for me, but a broken collarbone and a ruined race were pretty significant in my year.

Tyre Choice

What Tyres are peeps using at the moment - what tyre types suit Lee Quarry best?

I just uprated mine to Maxxis Minnions (ST) with a 2.5 on the rear. They r really sticky but I'm thinking this time of year they will be a good choice for the likes of LQ.

What are you all running and what are your thought?

More MTB Trails for Rossendale

We have been successful with our various funding bids and have over £500k to send on new mtb trails within the Rossendale area over the next 18months or so. The bulk of the funding £350K is coming from Aggregates Levy.

Planned at the moment for within Lee Quarry are

A new section of red graded xc singletrack with some black options/features this will be between 1km and 1.5km long depending on the final route used which will depend on what can be fitted in with the budget available.

New skills… Continue
