New job time beckons and its down Farnborough area. Any good riding down there? XC jeycore lite or gravel?
There's a lot around Minley/Tunnel Hill area that's used by the Gorrick XC series (which you can also race if you want!) - I think if the search works at the moment if you search for Tunnel Hill there was quite a big thread a few months back about a lot of the trails with some good info.
There's lots of XC pedalling around Caesars Camp (backs onto Farnborough Airport) and some short steep trails there too but it's easy to just end up doing lots of straight up and down if you don't know how it all links up. You can also go through to Ash Ranges and link that up to Swinley and there's plenty of gravel tracks around there as well as the Blue/Red etc. of the trail centre.
My office is Farnborough, there a couple of times a month. I go the Hindhead after work most of the time.Â
☝️ It's been a long time since I lived around that area, but yeah, jfab has pretty much covered all that I used to ride. Absolutely spot on for that kind of riding.Â
If you're looking for somewhere to live, Fleet is a nice town and easy bike commute distance to Farnborough.Â
Oh and a decent way to get to different areas a little further afield on a gravel bike is the Basingstoke Canal.Â
