I live just down the road from East Grinstead (Crawley Down) and do most of my riding in the area, Tilgate forest, Holmbury/pitch/leith, south downs (now a national park), Bedgebury, St. leonards forest, Friston forest all within an hour, could be a lot worse imo.
AP what route do you use to get out on a CX bike, I'm looking to do the same when my new one arrives?
Life is full of compromises. Perhaps you could move house if the riding available is unsatisfactory. However to do so would more than likely diminish your pleasure in another aspect of your lifestyle.
Like someone above said - buy a map, it's all there. I like just riding the countryside, but I like trail centres too. I would def join in trail repair days, no problem, just ask, it would be a great workout.
About resting trails during wet periods. When horse riders rest trails during wet periods I will do likewise, until that day...
