Sorry no porn content. Bored of Thatcher and my city being slagged off again so a point of happier times. Show me your favourite out the door ride.

Luckily I’m not in the vid so can come round and nick your bikes without getting caught.

Nice!

* wishes I had taken video of my gnarliness to share! *

Sorry no porn content

Booo!

Mine takes about an hour and doesn’t cross a single contour line, you probably don’t want pics, unless salt marsh turns you on?

This is only a couple of minutes ride from my door, STW Lazy Sunday

Is it all pixellated in real life too ?

🙂

As luck would have it, I made a crappy little video the other day about my local ride. How convenient 8)

It’s pretty flat around here, the only real lumps are near the assorted quarries along the valley.

OP. Watching that, it suddenly occurred to me how deeply uncool mountain bikers are.

Whoever said mountain bikers where cool vorlich? Have you ever read most of the posts on this site?

Its pixalated if you have too many tubos taki.

Much better tunes than mine andeh.

where are you marin?

Orgiva it would appear. I went near there on holiday once but I wasn’t into biking at the time. Looks great – are there many trails round there, and are they easy to find? Isn’t Orgiva known as a hippy-ish place?

OP… nice trails. shame the guy in front skids around before the corners. oh, and someone should tell him how to use his gears.

Could have done without the thumbs up

Out the back, 100 metres or so of uphill tarmac, hop a fence, and then a few hundred more vertical metres up the hill

then a wee bit further

Not very exciting, but here’s Kasper with the old Kona, back when it was warm…

My local loops are fairly flat, but picturesque.

Just up the hill. I’ve only ridden it once as I’m not keen on riding it on my own and I wouldn’t be able to take the GF down it.

The bottom bit is pretty steep and rutted now – didn’t manage to ride it all but heaps of fun.

Very lucky to have a lot of mountains nearby (sadly not Alps big though) and some OK singletrack, this trail starts about 5 minutes ride from my apartment and ends up overlooking the northern tip of Lantau, in the background is Victoria harbour, Kowloon on the left and Hong Kong on the right (Disneyland is right behind my head).

This is a little short section of the trail back to my home…

This is from the top down (yes, not Steve Peat but those steps are steep, honest!).

Aaagh, can never get the video links right.

Mainly Filmed 5 mins from my house:-

I’m nothing to do with Rivendell though….

Stewart, I might be in HK this summer. Mind if I fly my bike out and badger you into hitting those trails with you?

Seeing as Devon County Council seem to like urbanising & sanitising the local trails in my neck of the woods excuse me if I post a picture featuring not pedaling but paddling….

EDIT: Actually, I’d better show you this one just in case there’s a stealth bulldozers visit….

Bwaarp, no problem, email in profile.

Combe Martin, North Devon. Made this a couple years ago now on a rainy day. My ‘home’ has changed a few times since then!

Backdoor ride here in Innsbruck:

Ride out the door and only need to cross a small road 1/2 way, so do-able with my dog.

5 minutes away is this trail…

which takes me down to the coast for this trail…

This is just about the furthest point on one of my local loops, the descent takes me home. But I’m not telling where or what…

Pretty much urban riding only from my door, but I can put together a reasonable little 25km loop that is 1/2 track/road and 1/2 little nuggets of (sub)urban singletrack. No hills here in the flatlands, so our fun generally comes from wooded, twisty stuff.

2 miles from my backdoor

In a similar vein to Jon, here’s one of mine:

Living in the centre of Cambridge, I’m a bit stuck for a back door trail, but this is about a 15min ride from the house:

Setting off on the Roman Road by brf, on Flickr

Ice by brf, on Flickr

Out my road, across the park and bam. Literally 60 seconds from leaving my door to…

Few minutes further on and…

5 mins ride the other direction…

and another…

10 mins away…




2 mins away, past the shops and through a graveyard…

Just looking at these makes me realise how lucky I am and why I go months at a time where I ride without using the car to get there!

A montage of bits on or near my commute:

I’m a bit quicker now btw

Where’s that DBW? W. Yorkshire somewhere? Looks ace.

If it’s where I think it is I will hopefully be moving somewhere not too far away soon, also with great riding from the door (none at all where I am in Lancaster).

Its all South Halifax grum.

5 mins + another 20 or so gets me here (luckily stay at the foot of the hills)-

A few bits committed to celluloid here back before mini-me commandeered my riding time for good…
