G’mornin’ awesome boys and girls.

Just a quick hello from the naughty north west of England. Fairly recent Rail 9’er here, though I’ve had a Boardman HT for about 10 years, and prior to that a Claud Butler about 25 years ago, and Trek MTB back in the 90’s as a kid.

I’d not ridden much for a few years, but the 9 has reignited the flame and I’m on a mission to rid myself of ridiculous lockdown lard! My weeknight ride is a bit dull along the Mersey, some local woods around Chorlton and Sale water parks in south Manchester - but been to Cannock 4 times now in the last couple of months.

I went to Llandegla about 10 years ago a couple of times on the Boardman, and can’t wait to go back on the 9, but need more local eMTB buddies. I know a few analogue guys, but they all seem reluctant to ride with me now, though I think they’re summer rider.

The 9 has had me out in all weathers though, and I even invested in some Exposure lights for the winter nights because I literally can’t wait for the weekends! Loving life! Peace x 😃

Lots of the Mancunians go up to Rivington and Winter Hill, Darwen Hill/jubilee Tower. You have the Pennine nearby.

We're blessed with riding options in this area...

Hi from another Rail 9 owner not too far away in Bolton! Rivington is always good place to go out, though with the rain over the last 6 months its become littered with ruts big enough to loose your wheel in. I joined here looking for some company for ride outs too.... though I have to say I've been a bit of a fair weather rider recently 😅

@Sanjeeves I was up there on Sunday, you made the right decision! 😀

Howling gale force winds at the top, run-off water everywhere...

You'll have to head through Belmont and do Darwin Hill/Jubilee Tower. When the weather gets better, I'll give you a nudge! 😉

@Tonybro sounds like the best weather the NW has to offer 🤣

Have to say you're a brave man. I looked at the weather warnings and took refuge on my sofa.

Its almost sounding like there may be a pack of us wild northerners developing here.......
