I'm picking up a repaired amp (boom!

) in Leeds tomorrow afternoon. Anyone know if there's access to the Fearnville track at all times during weekdays? If so I can check out the state of the track on the way back.

you can access the track any time

So I went up to Fearnville mid afternoon yesterday. Track is not too bad at all, just a few bits of standing water. Not too soft generally. I guess it could be bad if it rains much more.

The kids are out tomorrow so I'll definitely be out riding somewhere.

Fellas, I'm planning to go to gate practice this Saturday at Bradford from 10:30ish. I'll be there with my lad. Anyone fancy it, then I'll see you there.

nhoj · « **Reply #35 on:** February 26, 2010, 08:33 PM »

I'll go over with my son, I imagine there will be a few water jumps after all the rain today!! Still, it looks like it has finally stopped now

Jon The Bassist · « **Reply #36 on:** February 26, 2010, 08:38 PM »

Bradford will probably be the best of the 3 local tracks for not being too flooded.

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #37 on:** February 26, 2010, 08:47 PM »

went to Yeadon on Tues....didn't even get the bike or me out of the van. Fookin snow

nhoj · « **Reply #38 on:** February 26, 2010, 09:53 PM »

I haven't been to Yeadon for ages, but I have heard that it has been flooded for a while now.

Bradford holds water pretty badly, there was loads of sweeping to be done before the regional, the only reason I am going is to give my son some experience of the gate

I have been very impressed with Fearnville over the last few weeks, amazing drainage and hardly a puddle in sight

C U tomorrow Jon

Anyone fancy Fearnville on Saturday afternoon?

I'll be there, warm up for the main event on Sunday

Jon The Bassist · « **Reply #40 on:** March 04, 2010, 09:21 PM »

Too much on this weekend mate. See you on the gate on Sunday.

losidan · « **Reply #41 on:** March 05, 2010, 02:52 PM »

Just wondering on the condition of yeadon and bradford currently...Is a rowing boat a better choice than a BMX or is it all clear?

Thanks

nhoj · « **Reply #42 on:** March 05, 2010, 03:43 PM »

Bradford was knackered last weekend, dangerous IMO. The frost had lifted all the topgravel and then the rain had soaked it. It was like riding in 2inches of very wet sand.

I haven't been to Yeadon but heard the drainage was bad and that the track had alot of standing water.

Get yourself over to Fearnville, condition wise, the weather hasn't effected it over the last few months

losidan · « **Reply #43 on:** March 05, 2010, 05:33 PM »

fair enough....fearnville it is. what time are you aiming to be there?

nhoj · « **Reply #44 on:** March 05, 2010, 08:59 PM »

I am going down for 12-12.30ish, they will be trying out the gate andso thats a bonus

Jon The Bassist · « **Reply #45 on:** March 14, 2010, 10:50 AM »

Me and the lad will be at Yeadon today from about 2ish until 3ish if anyone fancies it. I did want to get some gates in this Saturday or next but doesn't fit with other family stuff
