Originaly from Ash/Aldershot area now Hong Kong, no plans to return
Bournemouth.
It's quite pleasant, a bit flat though - with the exception of the purbs up the road
Newport Pagnell here, 120miles of Milton Keynes cycle route on my doorstep and Brickhill woods only a half hour, off road pedal away. 🙂
Linlithgow (roughly mid-way between Edinburgh and Glasgow). Pretty good trails out the door and this makes up about 90% of my riding. Glentress about 45 minutes away, Pentlands about 30 minutes away and pretty good riding round Stirling too though a lot of it relies upon local knowledge.
Newcastle. I guess it's fairly ideally placed between many trail centres and close to some more natural riding.
1.5 hours to Hamsterly?
1.5 hours to Kielder?
2 hours and a bit to Dalby?
2 hours and a bit to Glentress?
I don't go out nearly enough. Need some non parent riding mates!
Conset. Co. Durham - The mountainous post industrial geordie hinterland. - right on the coast to coast (you know for winter training), good natural terrain and 1/2 an hour closer to all of the above listed trailcentres than Newcastle.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Great local riding near me but the UK trail centres are a hefty trip!

oliverd1981: I do the Derwent run quite often, starting in Gateshead/Blaydon. I always think "Ah I'll reach the cafe soon" when hitting Consett. Don't know why my brain retards every time I pass that Mcd.
Matt - if you're going past McDonalds you're going the wrong way! instead of tuning left in blackihll and following the road you should go straight over, past Blackhill club and then over the fell to the Grove and pick the c2c up at Lydgetts junction.
There's some nice cheeky singletrack from the top up Pontop pike to Hamsterley mill

Skegby, Notts. 1 min ride from the Teversal Trails, 30 mins ride from the Pines, 30mins drive to some good riding in Derbys - musn't grumble.
About 5 mins ride from you in Newton... Probably ride the same stuff. Often ride out through Hardwick to Pleasley and then onwards to Cresswell Crags / Sherwood Forest.
My old house used to look over Pontop Pike.
Ex-Worcester here, emigrated to Malvern, the flat bit, nice view of the Clock Tower from my bedroom window however.
Merthyr Tydfil, back yard is the Breacon Beacons, and soon to open Gethin woods 🙂
Maidenhead, Berks - Chilterns, Swinley, N Downs and local cheeky trails to keep me busy!
SW London currently, but moving to Dorking this summer... with 3 bikes... and 2 babies under 2.... Natch.
Spennymoor. Co, Durham.
Leeds, i think.
