Hello all,

Was riding in the North Downs on Saturday (our usual haunt as the south coast is a bit lame for trails) and bumped in to John and Tom - hence me joining.

Im a trail/all mountain rider on a giant trance, nothing special but I get around and down ok.
Had a few big offs this year and its slowed me down a bit......

Always up for travelling up for rides (we have to travel from our end for anything decent) and up at the North Downs a fair bit (winter riding too).

Will keep an eye on the rides board and post ours too.

Cheers,
Ollie

We rode at the QECP enduro this year, is there much else round that way?

Oh and welcome

Hello all,

well in Southampton we have Lordswood - quite a lot of unofficial trails and jumps (some bloody hardcore I would not attempt) but it gets bulldozed every couple of years and apparently has been again recently.

Also there is Blackwood near Winchester - but its now being used for logging timber so officially closed to the public.

New Forest is XC only - not many hills.

QE is ok for a mid week ride but very limited.

We have to travel and its always worth the trip to the North Downs.
Going to check out Rogate soon and I hear Ceasars Camp is worth a visit too?
