Today’s ride. 2 miles from home

I’m guessing that’s not in the UK, is it?

A door mat

A turd in a flaming paper bag most days 😡

Timely as i stopped to take sme photos this monring.

Scotroutes photo is about 70 miles in that direction

TR.
Can we come and visit you? 🙂

Any time stu – so long as im in the uk and not in sme shit hole

We have just moved house about ten miles inland which means I have cool mountains on four sides. Before we were by the sea which limited the mountains on two sides! This is my most local trail…

Scotroutes seems to have the doorstep challenge nailed as well!

We have been thinking of heading up your way later in the year.
So we might just take you up on that.

That was earlier this week.
Now they look like they’ve come off one of those bodies that’s been in a peat bog for a few thousand years.

Yep not the UK, it’s sunny cyprus.
It was a good ride just hade to doge the goats.

4 or 5 good pubs, 3 or 4 excellent Indian restaurants, a cricket ground, a rugby ground, Britain’s best high street (officially, honest!) , where I work (10 mins away), several good friends, my campervan, etc

Just enough of this to keep things interesting.

and one of these.

Abingdon.

Miles of muddy double track bridleways. 🙁

Crowded beaches.

Alnmouth to Warkworth by Lee Collis, on Flickr

Darwen Tower is 10 minutes uphill, road and Bridleway if your fast or 20 mins if your me. Then it’s Rivington beyond that. Also lots of little woodland bits I’m finding around Darwen.

Some nice rides. The rest of Darwen is a shithole though.

Wow, swindons looking better these days!

My “nearly” doorstep:

Epping forest 10 mins from mine in east london

Calverley Woods, Esholt Woods and Shipley Glen…leading onto the moors via Bingley and Cottingley and beyond to Haworth, Oakworth, Oxenhope and Hebden. Out the other side of the Glen to Baildon, Ilkley and Stainburn.

Can also head towards Pudsey, or to Bradford and Spen Valley Greenway or Norwood / Halifax to Ainley Top and over to Mirfield / Huddersfield

The Hamble River 😀

The best we have is some bridleways around Stanwick Lakes. East Mids is shite for local riding hence the road bike. It does look nice around here in the summer though but it’s dull to ride.

Good for bmx spots though. 2 concrete parks are a 10 minute drive away as is Adrenaline Alley.

A trail that takes me down to the coast..

1st trail is about 6k. Coast trail is 18k.

As tmb – my back garden about 20 mins ago… Ok its not me but Jnr FD

oh well windows phone wont let me post pics…

2 miles away in > direction …

6 miles < a way…

None of the jumps would exist if i didn’t have a spade. Your doorstep is what you make it 😀

^^^ “What tyres for deep mud and unexploded munitions??” 😉

End of the road:

15 mins ride:

10 mins ride:

5 mins away:

20 mins (big descent followed by big climb) away:

This is not so good for riding but lovely to look at (taken from my lounge, which is directly above my front door):

but follow the coastpath round and you might find some cheeky coastal singletrack…

Dartmoor is an easy ride away too – covering my bases well I think!

2 minutes from home, the canals flooded the paths, forget me sealskin socks so got soaking feet both ways this morning..

About 50 metres away…

Where are you then Stoddys? Espana?

I can see our house from here ….

15 minutes ride ….

Northwind

Pop out and tell them it’s all over now.

Keep going along here and you drop down to our house and several others’ of the group.

On my usual ride from the house. Not my pic.
