    Well done glad you enjoyed it, Thats it though now you know? you'll have to give up all your spare time to ride at every opportunity !!!

    Cant beat getting caked in mud, Especially in the Winter! Get back home freezing cold leaving a trail of leaves/sticks and all other stuff the Missus doesn't like. Then get in a nice hot shower, PRICELESS.

    I'm riding Macclesfield forest tomorrow morning and looking to get pretty muddy :) minus the falling off with a bit of luck!

    Glad you enjoyed it. It's so much more fun than road riding (in my opinion)! Since trying offroad i hardly bother with anything else :D

    I also fell off twice today! I was in Epping Forest. Got caught out by a couple boggy, rooty type bits. Went over the handlebars on the second one. Good job there was nobody around to see me!

    May well do. I'm there most weekends! Epping is great. The going is getting a bit heavy in places now though. Be prepared to get muddy!
