There is some trails in the area I'm sure. Drop into noahs ark in Stroud or 247 in Cirencester and see if you can get some routes. Im based in cheltenham and can recommend cranham and lecky but they are a way from cirencester

I'm in Ciren.

If you head North through the park and out towards Daglingworth you can link in to some decent tracks all the way out towards Bisley. Not a huge amount of actual single track, or hardcore gnarl, but decent riding nonetheless.

Pretty much bugger all South of town, although a rip around the lakes near South Cerney is a decent way to spend an hour or so.

My advice would be to buy a map and see what you can string together. We've got some folks down at the weekend and will probably be getting out for a ride at some point if you want to tag along.

Welcome aboard ๐Ÿ™‚
Sadly not much local riding that's very interesting although if you fancy stretching your legs from the front door then there are a few bridleways you can link together (I'll see if I can find a GPS of a typical route).
For something a bit more interesting head up the road towards Gloucester - hook up with us at [url= http://www.bigfootmbc.co.uk/ ]http://www.bigfootmbc.co.uk/[/url] for more info ๐Ÿ˜‰

Lots in the Stroud area if if you want to hook up at some point (I'm about 20 min car journey north of Cirencester). Noahs / Stroud MBC were doing a ride every Sunday but it's been a bit quiet this year but the Facebook page is worth a join.
