Cheers! Your man upstairs could probably help you out with that route : ) Already done it on Monday 1st Dec, used Google Earth to find the best route, Oggy was still on his way back from Scotland. It was a really good ride but absolutely freezing up at the top with ice everywhere, snow falling and a bitterly cold wind! ;D |

I ended up getting a Decathlon Rockrider 6.3 after all, it was recommended by some guys here at work, who go riding up on the Marin Trail. One of them has a Rockrider 6.3 07 edition and carn't complain about it. Have a look at the bikeradar review as they rate this bike aswell. www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/mountain/product/rockrider-63-07-20096The nearest store is stockport Thanks for asking |

Nice one, just had a look at the link, looks like a very tidy bike for the price, nicely specced and some good reviews.
You happy with the ride?

Extremely happy, after xmas will probably get some new tyres and a new seat, maybe later some hydralic brakes. For the money cannot complain, and the Decathlon store in Stockport is full of MTB gear at extremely low prices!! take a look at their website, only pain is, they don't do delivery  www.decathlon.co.uk |

Well I'm definitely planning on doing the Snowdon route again before Xmas but the Trefriw loop there looks pretty tasty as well.
I am also going to be hammering it over the christmas break, went and rode CYB on Xmas day last year. Nice having the place all to yourself in the day. ;D
