I'd love to see your idea of 20 people!
I've been a county member a good few years now, I'm pretty sure we've only ever had that many people on a club ride on one of our FoD outings! Certainly not on a regular Saturday morning.Stop stirring.Posted 1 year ago # -
pete, 20 is high but certainly mid teens.

I think the point is we are being cheeky on some of the trails and groups(I've seen groups of 15+ many times, who they are, not sure)leave a bigger mark esp when ridden in bad conditions. For me its mainly been a solo ride, quietly passing through when its not muddy. Now if you are a twitcher or someone who likes the peace of the woods a group of riders does clatter along. Its a sensitive area therefore we should all act accordingly and take a little responsibility.

Don't know the area that well but have ridden around there a few years back
Just a small point is it full on cheeky or did someone once say 'ah go on you can ride through'
looking at the sales details it states in the general conditions of the sale previous agreements for easement and crossings will still stand or something to that effect
If the land is leased to natural England surely it's there job as the lease holder to police 'there' land not the 'owner'
Nearly all the best riding spots from my childhood are gone or fenced off now but I still go there when I can and would argue till I was blue in the face that I have 'earned' the right to be there as I care for the area I guess you feel the same
Good luck

Cant we get lilly Allen involved?
Saw her at stroud market on Saturday eating a burger
All I was trying to say is that large groups can't slide by quite as easy as just a couple of ninja riders.

Lets get her to write and release a song about grumpy land owners.

Like not riding over the burial mound perhaps, that can only be held against us....

There are no remains in there anymore. You can walk round a churchyard. However, as a concession I'd be happy if they fenced it off . As long as we could ride the other trails....
I had a fling with Lilly allens step mother once when I was a teenagery(she's 36 BTW) not sure how much use that is. Mind you wasn't she astride a bike on an album cover? In which case she owes it to us to help!Posted 1 year ago # -
if you have been riding there for 30 years or more there's a reasonable chance of there being a public right to do so now anyway
It needs to be pointed out that you can't create ROW through evidence of usage by cyclists. If you have evidence of usage by horses then that's a different matter - the chances are any permissive BWs can be converted to statutory ones if you have evidence of 20 years uncontested usage. The horseriders will doubtless be very glad to help (I've no doubt some of them have also met the new owner and are busy having a similar debate over at http://www.hoofprintworld.com) - the irony being that if he's more bothered about bikes than horses he's shooting himself in the foot by uniting them like this.Posted 1 year ago # -
It's difficult knowing where these sensitive sites are , the OS maps quite often don't show them...trying to stop them being raided.

It was 17 riders the day they got a bollocking by Cranham corner.Maybe it always looks more on those CC rides as they are going so slow and easily seen

Yeah, but you are unnaturally kinda mutant fast which would make anyone seem slow

so we can push our bikes through his wood?
Someone told me I wasn't able to rid ethrough the woods the other week.
I apologised and told the man I was feeling unwell, dropped my shorts and leant against a tree......he dodn't wait around...........may I suggest we all start to 'dump' against his trees when we see him?Posted 1 year ago #
