2 days mountain biking at Dalby forest park was an absolute pleasure. From what I have been told it is one of, (or) the biggest trail center in the UK. And was voted the best world cup course in 2010 by the UCI. It's got to be good here right? Hell yea, 24 miles of red route and more besides!.

I decided that I needed to get my fill so mountain biking around the Ladybower Reservoir, peak district was the days destination.  About 2 hours away from home it was perfect for a nice day in the saddle taking in the scenery and taking photo's. I headed to the Ladybower Inn car park which was to be my start point because my GPS data was not available to me.. I knew that a track nearby would get me on the right route! I got myself ready to ride and make my way up the first climb of the day. After sitting in the car for 2 hours, the climb proved to be a bit of a challenge..(That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!).

Mountain biking Darley Dale in Derbyshire!

So Easter 2019 is here and the sun is roasting. What a better way to spend the day than riding my  mountain bike around Darley Dale in Derbyshire! After a 1.5 hour drive on our busy UK roads I arrived at my destination with a desperate need to pee. After jumping out of the car and surveying my surroundings, it occurred to me that I needed to move my ass and get ready to ride because peeing was out of the question neither a public toilet nor a well placed bush in sight.....should have gone before I left, bloody coffee!!
