i do but pretty unfit at momment. i do some hybrid trails as well which incorporate some off the dog bits, but some off trail bits as well to mix it up.

also the downhill at stiles cop is fun on a hardtail but a long way walk back up.

depending how fit you are i usually go up weekends

Mainly sticking to the Blue's at the moment - just getting back into biking.
Did the 'Dog a few years back - just need to get a bit more confidence before I attempt again!

Yes, I ride the full red (Dog & Monkey) at least once a week with a mate. A fair bit quicker on my own but still hardly flying around.

is the Monkey Trail red? If so yup me and SWMBO do it. Not for a while as we've been getting "bike fit" on the road.

Hope to be back in the next few weeks.

Awesome. I do the full red trail on Sunday mornings and on a week night too. Have just ordered one of the PH jerseys so if you see me do say hello!

It would be nice to meet and ride with some PHers!

I'll keep an eye out. We normally start from the car park by Tackaroo.

I do, not as often as I'd like mind, maybe twice a month.

Normally park at Stile Cop or the small car park on Rugeley Rd. Usually have a play at the Cop then a lap of the Monkey with an occasional venture on to the Dog. I've a yellow Transition Bandit if anyone sees me.

The new Five Ways descent makes a nice change from the fireroad, it's nice to have the whole Monkey open again.

I've been waiting for them to get all of the monkey open again - so I must be due a ride over.
I've been playing at Stile Cop a bit recently - that's great fun.

I'd be up for a ride out
