Depends what tracks you ride and how you ride them I guess. Like I said, 10mins ride from my door, playground ain't gonna be a 6hour drive away is it?
Also have some good BMX trails but as this is an MTB site I mentioned where I play on my MTB.
I'll admit I've never ridden the 'good stuff', but ffs, I used to almost drive past there every day (from Wolverhampton) on the way to and from work – home being the Peaks. It can be done in less than an hour (just) – disclaimer – if anyone (associated with the feds) works out the miles per hour average, then I'm quite obviously lying.
However, I digress – Peaks an hour away / Cannock's fave place – still doesn't compute, sorry.
