Hi all
Just about to move from Crawley West Sussex, where I've had Tilgate Forest on my doorstep down to Sidmouth SE Devon.
Any local riders like to get in touch to show me around?
Cheers Steve
I live in exeter if you want to meet for a ride up at woodbury common (probably the best riding that's close to sidmouth)
mail in profile if interested
Bill
I live in Ottery - about 4 miles from Sidmouth.
Happy to show you around 😀
Woodbury's cool, and there's East Hill, and Harpford Woods, and some of the valleys around Northleigh/Farway. Lots of good stuff in fact.
Also Haldon is close by, and Dartmoor is only 30 minutes drive away.
Some of the best riding in the SW round here IMHO.
ajan ...sounds like you know the area better than me ..i'd also be interested in tagging along sometime for any rides at east hill/harpford/northleigh/farway ...i've been in devon 6 yrs now and so don't know it like a true local!
regards

Steve, woodbury common is the place that I was trying to think of last night.
Looking at Google maps, there are loads of woods in the vicinity, so It's definitely your job to find the trails for when the Muddy@rses invade Devon.
Good luck with the move.
Hi guys
Thanks for the replies, fantastic, I'll defiantly be making contact soon, next week hopefully 🙂
Bob, trust you to be stalking me hehe, picked up the Zesty yesterday, not had a chance to ride it yet, perhaps Monday evening if you fancy it
cheers all, Steve
If you stand on the seafront facing the sea.. to your right will be a big mahoosive hill.. ride up that.. at the top turn right and head inland across Mutters Moor and through the woods..
or if you're feeling rebellious just pootle along the coast path which is really good fun in places but a little cheeky..
Ride up that hill!!!!, my car has difficulties getting up there!!!
Thanks for the tip though, will go and investigate
Actually going to be living in Sidford, top of the Byres
I am in Honiton. Have been off the bike for a couple of months with an injury but going out in an hour or so for the first time. With a couple weeks under my belt i would be up for a group ride at woodbury or any of the other previously mentioned places. Good luck with the house move.
as of this week i'll be riding haldon forest most friday evenings from around 5pm onwards till exhaustion! if anyone cares to join me i'll post here before i go...probably park in the bird of prey car park or just outside the entrance to the main building on the road.
CarlP ...how can you park in the BOP car park when it was blocked off several years ago ?
Hi guys
Thanks again for all the replies, I'm now safely moved into Sidford and looking to get out for a few rides. Ajantom, I've emailed you as you seem the closest, but if anyone else would like to contact me I'm on

Cheers Steve
