On a fast downhill you can jump them without a problem. Some are worse than others with the concrete lip proud of the rungs which causes the problems. On a flat section I usually slow down and take the best line across, you get to know which are not too good after several years over the same ones!

tis true Ady you get to know them dont you.
I tend to take them very quickly AL. Dont really ever have a problem

Well, Saturday's ride...

Had a cracking day at Whinlatter with three mates. Early start got us there by 1000. Warmed up with the Blue Quercus trail and then rode the South Loop of the Red Altura trail. Quick spot of lunch and then the North Loop of the Altura followed by a "cool down" blast round Quercus again.... then back in Chinley in time for curry and football. Really good, flowing and well built trails. Lots of interesting singletrack climbing as well as some cracking descents.
