No mtb club in Dumfries

The 'billies do night rides on a Wed I think, I usually go out on a Thurs if not working at Mabie.

What kind of trails are you looking for?
Fancy a beer some night? (working Fri & Sat nights )

Cheers for the response. I'm looking for kind of more natural trails, the trail centres are good but it's nice to do other stuff too. Yeh we can do.

Only problem is any trail around here will be wet, very wet and will include some hiking ๐Ÿ˜†
