Hi everyone, this is my first message! I am an italian guy recently relocated to London, I have been riding since 2006 and I love AM and Enduro. I am looking for a group to join for some rides.
I still couldn't bring my bike here, I should make it for Sep...do you know a good shop that can actually hire some good stuff?

tx a lot

Ciao Spike,

if you feel for some more downhill/freeride riding I'm up to organise something.

I've also been looking to create a little riding group but havent really succeded so far.

PS I'm Italian too, not that it makes a difference, #justsaying. I miss the Alps but riding around London can be fun too ;)

That would be great!
I can see just two issues...first: your level. I mean i am not a beginner, i have been to bike parks several times but i am not really a downhiller and i am more used to enduro/all mountain. But this could be a great chance to learn too...I do love downhill and I have been always looking for a class or someone who could teach me some hard core stuff!
Secod: bike. My claymore is in italy...do you know shops where i can hire a bike?

Where do you want to ride this weekend?

Tx

Hi!

Well i ve always been riding freeride but no worries i m not a 10m drop rider so best case we ride together and worse case i wait for u at the end ;).
It's more the company not the level really, i ve been riding alone for 5 years now and it's getting boring.

Bike wise i think i ll get a downhill soon but for now i m using a P2 so nothing too crazy, more 4x and small jumps

I will be at PORC bike park all friday and saturday. Planning to camp there (" I love the smell of trails in the morning"). It s in Kent, 45 train from L bridge + 40min cycle.

Not sure were u get trial bikes actually, better u get this from other members!

Would b great if u can make it!
