For me it normally takes about 15 minutes or so on the road before I get to proper off-road riding. So what's the average peoples?
About 10 seconds- unless I'm in a hurry
Bastid!
30 seconds for me
😥
4 miles to a trail centre or about 500m to a bridleway.
Three and a half miles and a thousand feet of climbing (nice warm up).
1.5km
About a mile, so four minutes or so.
Right over the road.
Closest is about 3 miles away. Nice ride along a cycle path to get to it though.
Seven miles, and that's only to the double-track 🙁
about 20 secs
Nearest BW is at the end of the road, about 20m away but it's not that exciting.
Nearest woods with some decent stuff is 5 minutes away.
12 miles on the road usually. I can do a different route and do almost
all the miles on bridleways and footpaths, but if they are really muddy
it can easily take me twice as long to get there!
I would love to live within a mile or so of some good offroad riding.
2 minutes.
0.9km to singletrack 🙂
About 300m to get to the woods in one direction or a bridleway in the other.
About 100 miles to get to a hill worth the name...
I can hold my breathe til I'm there.
Nearest is 5 mins away
I can drop onto the Trans Pennine Trail from the next street. The nearest woods (worth visiting) is about 25 minutes away.
I can see it from my front door , it's about 30 seconds away maybe 25 if I get Mrscarlos to hold the gate open for me. 😀
Last year at uni it was about 3 minutes straight into a pretty nice descent...
5 minutes to the bridleway which gets me to the singletracky woods in another 15. Bridleway is all uphill so I get an offroad descent home afterwards!
Or 2 minutes to the nearest forest, a bit flat though so singlespeed only really
Farm track from front door to singletrack is about 200 metres.
2 mins... If home.
Bloody ages if in Town (actually it's about 7mins to Lee Valley Canal towpath)
Pennine bridleway 10 m from my front door not that exciting though.
5 mins to some half decent stuff.
Over the road.
Front gate.
I live half way up blue pig, so maybe 5 seconds...
1/2 mile to not-very-exciting-but-leads-out-into-the-Peak bridleways or 3 miles to something more interesting. Given how many people have to drive to ride I'm pretty happy with it (albeit still a little envious of some).
10 seconds, doesn't mean it's worthwhile and certainly doesn't fit in as part of a good ride.
About four miles, mostly on cycle paths. I look on it as a warm up and warm down.
45 minutes to the Pentlands, 1:45 to Glentress which I've ridden once or twice.
Some wee local trails maybe 15m away but I don't know them so well.
Closest is 10 seconds , but more usually I head for the better stuff 60 secs away...
15 minutes

About 300m from the front door to some wooded trails.
Same as Sandwich - cross the road and I'm there.
10 seconds 😉
Zero. 8)
About 20 mins road for some nice stuff although I generally drive a bit further to get some variety. When I lived right on the edge of off road riding I got a bit bored riding the same bit over and over. Its also a short walk to hundreds of shops and other facilities so happy with the compromise.
Seems loads of people live as close (or closer) to good riding as I do then. Lucky people! Even in Greece I'm only 30 seconds away from good, technical downhill stuff - you just can't over-estimate the benefits of being able to have good riding right on your doorstep IMHO.
I live 2 miles from the High Peak Trail, I live in the heart of the Peak District
5 mins to a cycle path, another 10 mins along that to get into the woods.
