Beginner full suss rider. ouch

Niteowl

Hi chumps,

This is the story. I just bought a full suss bike; trek fuel ex8 after test riding it . To be honest, it was a choice between the Trek, Lapierre zesty 314 and a Specialized MBR in the same range. For some reason, the Trek Fuel EX 8 won.

The big problem i now have is finding a trail center in the middle of london to enjoy this new toy as the one (Eastway) close to me has now been closed to inorder to make way for the Olympics. I used to go there a lot for cyclocross on my Specialized Tricross Sport which got nicked two weeks ago outside the gym :x

So If anyone has any advise, on finding trails center, mates to ride with etc, please spill them here. Im looking forward to getting out there and enjoy our good ol British summer.

Not much in the centre is there , I live in Marylebone so usually have a blast around Richmond Park or Hampstead Heath. If your East you should get yourself to Epping Forest
