Mate of mine is constantly asking if I want to go enduroing.

I've been known to use "enduro" as a verb, always with tongue firmly in cheek obvs.

I've heard people saying they're going to Hamsters to do 'enduro practice'. Surely that's just riding around a trail centre, isn't it? Or is it case of if you race than any other ride out is 'training' or 'practice', ie not just for the sheer unbridled fun of it?.

I can imagine people saying this who wear their collars popped and have tribal tattoos despite being from Milton Keynes.

Everyone in Milton Keynes goes for "a blast up Woburn". It was part of the inspiration for this thread.

If in search of a new route, it's a 'mooch'..

No, that's a schnurgle 😉

I'm not one for keeping up with the latest lingo, but surely "blast" is a valid one for those rides when you've not got the usual amount of time, so you go shorter, but harder? - "a quick blast"

If go for a thrash, or a smash about the trails, it's a short, anti-social, just me, waiting for no-one ride, hurting myself up the the hills and hoping not to down again.

I don't know about "blast". It seems to imply more speed than "thrash", which describes the effort and perhaps the visual effect, but not the attainment.

I was going to do some cycling later but I have no idea what to call it now.

Spookily I went for a blast this morning, unfortunately it was Bi Lateral Analysis and Stimulation Treatment which deals with clearing the after effects of trauma, no bikes involved. This blast is very weird stuff (but seems to work)!
