Anyone whos been riding with me recently will have been bored senseless with me banging on about this place. So heres your chance to find out :

Im aiming to get there every Tuesday and Thursday in August. Wednesdays and fridays are also possible but hope to avoid the weekends.

Unfortunately, there is a limit of 6 riders in the area so wont be posting the rides on here but organising offline / by pm.

Normal rides with the fellas I ride with are 4hrs ish (3hr 15 ride time) but can do a shorter or slower rides as most trips involve returning to cars or passing shops / pubs.

I dont want to discourage anyone from sampling the riding here but you need to have some technical skills, be able to handle small drops and big bomb holes, small jumps. You need to be fairly fit as the 3 hills consist of climbs and descents ranging from 250m to 290m.

These rides aren't for beginners or people who advertise on this site.

If you've any questions pm or post up.
