    What accessories/spares do you have mounted to your bike and how?

    Also use 76 projects stuff. I've got little piggy with dry bag and the saddle bag which can go anywhere you can find space on the bike. I have a fidlock universal base bottle holder mounted on the top tube with a pump attached to the longer straps that come with it. Also have a fidlock base on...

    Rideout Sun 9th Aug Vicar Water and Sherwood Pines

    Cheers guys, enjoyed it. Let me know about Calverton if you decide to go. As Steve said, ridiculous numbers of people there and a few walking groups wondering on to the red trail as well as a dog walker. They are going to get hurt or hurt a rider if they kept doing that! Spotted a few fair...

    Cool, see you then. On the way to the desert area where you come in from the blue trail and along the ridge the Mx guys ride on was swampy as on Sunday !

    Rideout Sun 9th Aug Vicar Water and Sherwood Pines

    He's likely to come along but we will be there much earlier and he'll set off home when I meet you. 10:30 I'll meet you , gives me some leeway if we are running late earlier in the day for the first ride

    Rideout Sun 9th Aug Vicar Water and Sherwood Pines

    @steve_sordy I'll aim to get there for 10 to 10:30. I'll ride in from Blidworth. I may bring someone with me who isn't on an ebike but will warn him first that we we won't hang about. I might leave him on the red run and see what he thinks.

    I've found most of the places we rode around apart from the big bomb hole that we sessioned. Any tips Steve how to get to it?

    Rideout Sun 9th Aug Vicar Water and Sherwood Pines

    Good ride and thanks to @steve_sordy and @Ontherail for the guiding. I'll be sessioning the long section that's out near the entry to Pines from Blidworth on route 6. Embarrassed I came off twice on those 2 descents but I still did them. I'll return to those at some point to do them properly...

    Rideout Sun 9th Aug Vicar Water and Sherwood Pines

    Steve, just to ask, the car park is the larger by the entrance as there is a smaller one the other side of the lake I think for the season ticket holders or just the angling club.

    Rideout Sun 9th Aug Vicar Water and Sherwood Pines

    Should be free now, so please add me to the list. Went to the Pines yesterday and to Vicar Water. Did just under 20 miles, 10 odd miles with the motor off. Actually surprisingly ok compared to Hucknall. Took my brother in law as he wants to get a bike ( non ebike). We swapped bikes half way. As...

    Anyone else get called a cheat??

    Last week riding a 20 mile round trip to the lbs for a Bosch software update, on the ride out I passed 2 different dog walkers within 10 mins of each other, they shouted out "that's cheating". Both times I was flat out riding up hill as fast as I can , on the 16mph ISH limit out of breath. I...

    Any interest in another Rideout to Sherwood Pines, plus Vicar Water?

    Typical, my son's 1st birthday is that week and we haven't seen family since March so I might not be able to make it

    Any interest in another Rideout to Sherwood Pines, plus Vicar Water?

    @steve_sordy happy to meet up before and go over the route at some point and be of part use. Might even try and pick up a Garmin and record it ?

    Any interest in another Rideout to Sherwood Pines, plus Vicar Water?

    Ok cheers guys. I'm starting off from home which is 16 odd miles away so got to be careful with battery management once I get there, I may just cycle to the Pines briefly and then to Vicar Water and then back
