Default Neam bike ride

Hi guys does anyone fancy a bike (meet) ride.
I was thinking of organising a Neam bike ride it would be for a Saturday or Sunday no specific date yet. I was thinking of the red route at hamsterley forest and would be around 12 miles and take approx 3.5h with breaks.
The ride consists of single track forest trails, fire roads there's a couple of climbs on fire road and weaving down forest trails
Nothing to strenuous my wife and kids have done it although it's still quite tiring.
It will be at a steady pace not balls out and the plan would be to go as fast as the slowest rider.
A would say any mountain bike hybrid or cyclecross etc would be fine but a road bike would be no good.copy and paste the link below in your browser for a look at the planned route

Loads of vids on YouTube type hamsterly forest red route
If anyone's interested
Please post here.

Cool

Heres a few videos of what i do when im up at hamsterley just to give you an idea of what to expect if you havent been up there before

Pikes Teeth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x_6TXrWoZY

Route 666 / Oddsox + 2 other little trails

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_mc9zCL3Tg

Transmission / Accelerator / Nitrous

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiIHLkw_zc8

Section 13 / Bone Shaker / Special K / Brain Freeze

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP-7LmPyuPA

Then I normally head back to the car park.....these trails would take around 4hrs to do but well worth it....
