hey guys, its just the fact that I dont mind riding off road on my own. On road on my own …cant see the point.
there are some friendly clubs in the area though. plus living where you are it’s the same for road as it is mtb regarding getting to nice roads/trails. you have to travel to get good mtb or there is richmond park or you have to travel to get good road riding or there is richmond park.
the big difference is good roads are much closer and quicker to access. im SW and can be on quiet roads in minutes,, itend to steer clear of the park at the weekend though and just use it for midweek road blasts when it’s much quieter.
maybe borrow a road bike before committing
