Well it was well over due and it was time for trip over to Hamsterley Forest area on the e bike to see how it handles some rough off road terrain and steep hills. I started off with a full battery and plenty of sun shine. There was no wind either which was a bonus for a change. The trails were very lovely and quiet, only seen two other cyclists in the whole 26 miles and three walkers as well. The temperature was just right when I left but when it clouded over there was a real nip in the air as the temperature dipped to 13 degrees in some places. I still managed to find loads of deep wet peat bogs and large puddles even though we had had very little rain in the last two to three weeks. The main trails were bone dry and dusty / sandy and fast going where it was not too rough. I bottomed out the suspension forks a couple of times on some steeper / rocky descents. There are loads of photos below of the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon -
