Hi there,

Maybe it is just me, but I really enjoy XC Mountain Biking. I'm not really one for jumping off of big jumps, breaking myself just doesn't appeal! I am however getting into technical riding and want to build on what I already know (honestly, it is not that much, HA!).

ANYWAYS.... does anyone know of any good locations to ride XC? Or even better, is anyone up for a ride (this weekend)? I am fairly new to riding on a decent MTB and have only covered parts of the North downs and Surrey Hills. I am based in South London and can be free on most Saturday's and possibly Sunday's (if the trains are working).

Let me know.

Al

Hey fella there are a few of us out there 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) ... don't despair... Lots of XC routes in area to play on and most rides posted up here consist of a XC element..

Youll find that even those of us 'into' DH still spend a lot of time on XC routes either out of choice or because we dont have long DH runs on our doorsteps, in fact, I've decided to build a new bike with slightly less DH attributes in favour of an all round/freeride bike.

Will be riding Surrey Hills on Sat if your around that way!
I have no idea where I'm going and only a dodgy phone map so I'll be the one stopping on every corner...

Here I am! Free only at weekends, but as you said prefer Saturday because of better train services.
I can't do this weekend but the next one I should be free.
I am base in South East London (Surrey Quays SE16)
