Ever wanted to try mountain bike orienteering?

I'm organising 3 very short and easy events next Saturday at Bishopwood, Wheldrake and then Allerthorpe for people to come along and try. You ride on your own, there is no mass start and it's a lot of fun, what's more to be liked?! For experienced riders each event will take approximately 40mins ...

Good ride in the first group, all kept together (I think) and a nice steady pace (most of the time... apologies... :oops:)

And for those who want a laugh... and the evidence...

Isle of Man end to end

What a fab event that was; my legs are still aching.

I think I might have spotted a smiling Jeff in this clip.

Hi Graham

Yes, Clifton is listed as my second club.

Sorry I couldn't race on Thursday but came down with man flu and we all know how serious that is. A & E were put on standby.

What a good race that was!

I was really impressed with how Clifton performed, particularly good efforts from Tim, Andy, Jacob and Cam. I think some working together to control the front of the race on the last lap would yield some good results.

It was an excellent ride and I agree with John, let's try and extend the ride a little; we are still getting back before 12. Lots of good riders out yesterday, I was particularly impressed by Wayne, fresh from a dose of blood clot on the lungs.

It was definitely a fast race last night. The average speed was just over 25mph but we peaked in the sprint going 37mph which was impressive. I'm just thankful that there are a lot of experienced riders in the group and few muppets.

Think also about your food intake too Mart. A few more carbs could do you some good, your physique is designed for hill climbing. ;-)

Park and pedal

Recently a member of the club returned to his car he'd parked at Clifton Park and Ride only to find a note on it saying that he'd be fined £50 if he did it again. I was astonished to hear that and contacted David Short, who's York City's cycling officer who confirmed that car drivers are allowed to ...
