My self and wife are away next weekend for her birthday, but while i was looking at maps to see where we are staying , i noticed a place called hopton woods ... is it worth taking the bike ?
Ive only got my rigid SS at the moment , will i be ok with this ? .... im not really bike fit at the minute but will i die on it ?? ๐Ÿ˜€

Deffo worth taking the bike. Cracking red XC route at Hopton. Depending on your skill level you might end up walking (down / up) some of the steeper bits, but there is plenty of nice flowly stuff to keep you smiling. Make sure you have some knobblies on however, as a few of the climbs are a bit slippy this time of year.........
