How about the Calf in the Howgills near Sedburgh, a tough climb with an awesome descent. Its about 1:45 from Manchester, or if you want something closer and more in the Dales there are a few rides near Settle and Malham, take about an hour from Manchester?
Great stuff, its a bit boggy in the Dales at the minute, so will be better in a few weeks as well.
How long, or far of a route are you after? What would be your ideal ride? And ill try to come up with something to suit.
Hi there,
Yes, that jacket turned out to be a batgain. I still use it and it is totally waterproof still ( much to my surprise) Size wise, they come up a little small/short , so unless they have changed their sizing this year, then I would go a size larger than you normally would.

well without seeing them its hard to say but you do need a perfect seal. do you know how to take the hose off correctly? by undoing the hose nut half way and pulling instead of completely undoing the nut and pulling the hose out because this is how most people lose fluid
ye love them, did the exact same change aswell from avids on the trance to the slxs. Ye its really easy as long as you do it correctly and you shouldnt need to rebleed them. You will need new olive and barbs aswell
Hi, regarding the reverb failure you asked about ... its actually back on the bike now ... TF Tuned sorted it for me. It was really simple - it had too much fluid in it so when on quickest return it was always slightly open and colapsed. I sent it for a service and they rang me straight back to let me know. They took some fluid out and sent it back and now it works fine.
thanks for the update not sure if youll notice that much difference with the 10mm on a hardtail but the beefier the better eh! As for the weather it snowed last sunday in the mountains whilst i was up there riding didnt lay but it was cold! just as well it didnt when you see where we were riding have a look http://www.moredirt.com/gallery_photo.php?id=76268&user_id=46987

if you arnt to clear with the procedure take it to a shop to do it, the last thing you want is your brakes failing on you
