Martin Davidson

Experienced Mountain Biker, that also Road rides, I've ridden trails all over the UK including England, Scotland & Wales. I've also ridden in Europe (The French Alps, Spanish Sierra Nevada mountains plus the Basque Country), the Balearic Islands, Corsica & the Canaries. I've been Mountain Biking as long as the sport has been going & probably before! I'm 62 but as a T shirt which was bought for me by my Mother states "Never underestimate an old man on a Mountain Bike", I ride every discipline but mainly singletrack trails. I have two mantras in life the first one, "If you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much space!" & second "If you're riding as fast as you can & you're still in control, you're obviously not going fast enough!" I also like road riding but Love Mountain biking! Oh I also ski. May your trails all be dry & dusty, Live long & prosper, care for the planet & leave only tyre marks.🤙🚵‍♂️

Road ride to "Chocks Away" Cafe, right on the edge of Broughton Airfield.

Decent rides with some 'hot rolled tar chip' section which don't make for a pleasant ride. The route is quite good & effectively a loop taking in the Airfield & get to see the Balouga take off/land. Then along the Dee River cycleway & onto the Greenway to the Marshes…

MTB loop ride from CAMC camping site Scotton through Nidd Gorge & down to Knaresborough, bit of a coffee stop at Nørd in the Market Sq then return the same way out but going on to Bilton (The Gardener's Arms PH) to return into the Gorge & square the circl

Great little ride that could easily be achieved with a modicom of off-road skills on a hybrid or a gravel bike. The Gorge trails are shared & really wide hard surfaced paths so Be Courteous as you are the interloper here! There's a few stiffish climbs & some poorly maintained…

Hike from Scotton CAMC camping site along the River Nidd to the Gardener's Arms in Bilton, Harrogate

Beautiful scenic walk on a generally well maintained path (although there's broken planks on the boardwalk) up to the Gardener's Arms at Bilton, a lovely traditional "proper" pub, very cosy & keeps an excellent cellar with a broad selection of cask ales including Samuel Smith😋👍🏻 We even saw an Otter…

Hike into Knaresborough via Nidd Gorge via the path less travelled! The easier route is to to cross the footbridge in the gorge & turn left! Turning right takes you to Harrogate.

By sticking to the left side of the river bank (this route) is definitely the path less travelled! However it still gets you into Knaresborough, however you do end up walking the last half mile is along the very busy road footpath. The river path on the left is very…

Whitby to Burton Loop, just a quick short pedal with a coffee stop at Burton Cafe. Ideal if you're pushed on time & just fancy a quick pedal or a shorter ride

Nice n easy, pretty much exclusively on cycle paths & monitor roads with only a couple of slight draggy inclines. Only require moderate fitness, just take your time.

MTB ride Heartbreak Ridge💔starting & finishing at the Tarland C&C Club Site

A long, long slog up via a 4x4 track virtually to the summit followed by a fantastic steep (ish) technical downhill single track over lots & lots of granite rocks. Loads of grip but very unforgiving! Be prepared for one or two scuffs on your pride & joy!

One of my absolute favourite pedals around the Cheshire Lanes

This is a Road ride with no gravelled lanes. Some of the road surfaces are a bit sketchy which Cheshire County Highways should be ashamed but this is definitely one of my favourites with minimal main roads & a great coffee at Manley Mere watersports. There are several climbs mainly…

None of your well manicured, uplifted, Bike Park Tosh here! Just PROPER Old Skool Trails, that require a level of skill & stamina! Your reward,fast (fantastic) technical trails, spectacular views, FREE Parking. Take your 'A' Game with you. Summer vegetation is crowding some of the trails which desperately requires more…
