Cannock Chase - MTb

Decided to go and have ride of the Cannock chase trails which came on a recommendation.

Generally very good, the red was reasonably easy to do on the hard tail and the climbs were all easy after Macc Forrest and Glentress. Some of the single track was excellent and it was worth it for a few of the rock gardens and drop offs.

Clearly made the most of the elevation and space but is it really mountain biking if you can hear road noise most of the time? And the trails rarely leave the woods so you never get an appreciation of where you are or how far you have travelled.

Good though.

Gt again

So back up to Glentress again, another early start and a run over the red. This time I have burm baby burm a run which was also good, plus two or three runs over the free ride park including first drop of the Hucks.

Glentress

New hobby alert! Seem to have got addicted to riding my dad's mountain bike. Climbed 10,000 feet on it over the couple of weeks of Easter.

Firstly been riding over the cat and fiddle and trying the excellent down hill run from the a54 down Cumbernauld brook.

Then had a run up to Glentress and ran the red run which is huge fun, bumps jumps and well groomed routes, just like a good ski resort.

Drive home was good too!
