Hi people

I'm planning on taking my 12 y/o Son away for a couple of days during October half term.

The problem is (assuming it's a problem) I ride an geared XC bike, where as he's riding a Single Speed 24Seven jump bike.
So basically looking for some where in the South, or Wales'ish -that's ok for beginner without big up hill sections, is there such a place?

Your comments/suggestions will be most appreciated

Thanks

  • So basically looking for some where in the South, or Wales'ish -that's ok for beginner without big up hill sections, is there such a place?

    Not sure you'll find much riding in Wales without big climbs.

    But in the south Thetford has some good riding trails with little or no climbing, & Bedgebury in East Sussex has a good single track trail without too much climbing to negotiate.

    Try the 'moredirt' site for other locations.

    Thanks for that DK :)

    Had a little search over there and came up with a few possibilities,

    http://www.eshershore.com/index.htm looks like a good place to start and not a million miles away.
    I think I'd better try the 'Shore Virgin' trail first :D

    Cheers
  • How about the South West?

    Quantocks
    Mendips
    Blackdowns
    Exmoor
    Dartmoor
    Woodbury
    Haldon
    Okehampton......

    All very different, all suitable for all abilities....all in the South West.

    And you can even drink cider and eat cream teas.
