I'm 18 and starting at Royal Holloway Uni in September. Want to bring my bike down with me and was wandering what the location is like round there. I'm into All mountain/ freeride but up for XC if means i get to ride! There any clubs down there I could join or any guys/girls my age fancy meeting up come september? Also does anyone know what the facilities for storing bikes are around there?

    hi mate

    google swinley forest and esher shore, both are really close to you there. Swinley is prolly only 5 miles, and esher is prolly and 7 or 8, but i think both can be reached easily by train from there.
