Hugely disappointed: been reading STW for the past three weeks, but it became apparent during yesterday's ride that all that intensive reading hasn't made me any fitter at all 🙁
Still, interesting explore through the mud, deep puddles, and sandy grit of Bishop's Wood (Market Drayton/Newport/Stafford area). Some gravel FC routes but mostly bramble-edged singletrack.
I try reading to get fitter. Doesn't work for me either. Sort it out singletrack ;o)
I was hoping it would make more rad. If anything, I'm even less rad.
mbuk reading for radness. Reading it also makes trees lean over for some reason.

It's about 10 miles from where I live, and it looked quite good on the map, hence the exploring. Think it would be ok in the summer for a whizz around. Bit closer than Cannock Chase - trails or forest - and completely deserted. Saw one other bike track, very faint, in the mud, so it's not a much-used area. Fun, and some steep bits, but not overly challenging. Great light through the trees at times, though, so pretty.
