Hi everyone

Just getting back into mountain biking, loving it.

Does anyone ride places cyclable from Oxford (like shotover hill)?

Cheers

    Hey

    I'm living in Oxford at the mo, been up to Shotover before, its good fun up there. I went after a mjor downfall and was covered head to toe in mud, great fun. I spoke to the guys in Beeline cycles on the cowley road and they reckon to get on to the Oxford Tube to Wallingford and ride the Ridge.

    Unfortunatly i'm unavailable for the next couple of weeks, but we should get out to Shotover for a ride. PM me on here and we can organise sometihng.

    Instead of getting the Ox Tube to Wallingford/Lewknor, you might be better off doing what I often do from Oxford. Get the train to Didcot or Cholsey, and ride up to the ridgeway from there. That stretch of the ridgeway is a favorate route of mine, especially when whizzing back down to Goring for the train back. Avoid the chalky ridgeway in teh wet though, nasty!

    KK :)
