About 20 seconds
Seems like I'm quite hard some by then, time to move me thinks 😀
About 2 minutes, though it is a climb.
100m
About 300m onto Ilkley Moor
Depends where I start, if every ride was the same it would be dull. Today it was an hour to climb before 25mins of down
Used to rent somewhere literally on the trails of Nant-yr-Arian.
Now, 1/2 hour away, but loads of natural stuff on the doorstep.
Way to many people lucky to get good riding on there doorstep. I can do bridleway stuff within 5 minutes but that doesn't count. A fifteen minute car ride gets me to hamsterley forest and I consider myself very lucky to have that. ?
3 miles to the foot of the Ridgeway
20-30 minutes depending on my mood
Five to ten minutes, depends on which way I want to go.
Lot of people on here live next to a trail. I hear that surfers like to live near the beach.
Just behind the house. 30 seconds at a lazy roll.
I'm about 20 minutes drive away from Keswick. 25-30 minutes ride could have me at some local-ish woods though.
Tried some local exploring yesterday on the cross bike- found an overgrown swamp. They a short section of singletrack.
Couple of minutes from some good natural singletrack in a small wood. About five minutes to get to more extensive off-road routes in a couple of directions.

5-10 minutes in the car for me 🙂
Not as close as I'd like.
Pretty much nothing on the doorstep but 12mins drive to the Quantocks and about 2 miles cycle to the blackdown hills.
About 15 minutes till I hit the woods and beyond. Nothing particularly technical mind but on the other hand I live close to the centre of a city with a population of half a million.
About 20 mins to the Quantocks for me
5-10 minutes, depending on where I'm going
It's about 300m from my house to the start of an ace 10min descent.
Even the climb back up is really nice.
Currently about a 30 mins ride or a 10 min car journey to get to Castell Coch or 25 mins drive to Cwmcarn. Yearning for riding out of the doorstep now after growing up with the Beacons as my back yard, renting so looked at new places back in the spring. Two caught my eye, one in Tongwynlais and one that backs onto Forest drive in Cwmcarn. the downside is that they'd both mean commuting by car instead of by bike so I'd probably ride less!!
We can get to a bridleway downhill in about five minutes, then another few minutes to the coastal path. We can be out in the sticks in about half an hour's ride.
Seems loads of people live as close (or closer) to good riding as I do then. Lucky people!
I used to live with trail out of the back garden, it was nice to be able to grab an hours blast but it soon became dull, I'm now heading for somewhere that I can be close but not as close to lots of much better trails.
In the last week I've ridden some awesome trails, all needed a car to get there and the variety was great. Well worth the drive.
300m till I'm off road then about 5 minutes to Sherwood pines bike park end. although I don't really ride into here unless with my missus and daughter. would rather drive to the peaks or bestwood, Cannock etc.
3 mins until I'm on the fast,rocky,loose descent into the woods. 3 really good trails in there. And you have ride past a pub no matter which way you exit.
25min cross city slog, one of the few downsides to where I live.
