Pennine Bridleway up as far as Paythorne (new bits being built at the moment) then mostly existing bridleways only a few additions required. It would make a big day out, possibly a bivi bag ride.

Sounds ace Tony. I think a large (c. 50 hectare) covered all-weather area will be about the only thing left on my shopping list for the quarry. Especially handy for days like today. Keep up the excellent work.

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?
