I was a regular Thetford rider until the loss of my license!! Now i only go there when someone else is off that way, the fact it’s flat isn’t a bad thing as it means theres virtually no climbs!! The friend in question is a timber member but he dosn’t wear a helmet for xc due to bad headaches/migraines and only wears it for dh/jumping for five minutes at a time, apparently he asked if he could join them on a ride and was given a very condescending answer from the chairman about how he should see his gp and how he shouldn’t ride without a helmet whilst learning to ride a bike,(he’s absolutely awesome on a bike!!). He did tell me there was a rumour of a pump track being built there, any truth in that? that’d be a pretty cool addition for Thetford
