Yep, I ride xc round there, not ridden much around the Louth area though. I'm off the bike at the minute with a knee injury but will be getting back out soon. Most of my rides are usually around the 30 - 50mile mark but when I get back out I'll have to take it easy for a while and lay off the hill work for a bit.

I'd be up for a ride though, a guide around those parts would be great.

Have any of you tried out this place? Is it any good? Do you need to be a member or something?

"The Hamilton Hill Freeride Park is brought to you by the Rasen Area Trailblazerz MTB Club, a group of local riders dedicated to bringing you the best in MTB trails.

Our aim is to bring North Shore, Downhill, 4X, and Dual Slalom courses to Lincolnshire. Yes, I said Lincolnshire."

I don't live local so I can't join you unless it's really worth a trip out. Just curious about the place because I have heard they are building the woodwork bits for Sherwood pines.

fish,, im also in HLC your more than welcome to join us on a sunday AM,, for a plod about the wolds etc..Ive also checked out Hamilton hill but staying away looks good but compound fractures etc would be high on the score board for me.... leaving it to the young un`s with quick reactions.

The area these chaps are riding is mostly covered by the following OS Explorer map http://leisure.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/leisure/ItemDetails.jsp?item=os_explorer_282 and you'll find it shatters a few myths about Lincolnshire being flat!
I venture out from Louth onto the Wolds 3 or 4 times a week and have a number of loops ranging from a quick 12 miler pre-work up to a weekend workout of over 50 miles.

Despite seeing a few tyre ruts, I've only ever spoken to one other rider in over 3000 miles of XC riding up there!

We use the wolds all the time for off road, there are some great routes around Teaby/Walesby/Claxby. Last week we cycled up Claxby hill and then went on the viking way through the woods and fields over to nettleton top. If you get an ordanance map you can go for miles off road around here. We went from Middle Rasen to Uncle Henry's for lunch today (and back) via a lot of very muddy paths/fields ( A little too flat for our usual but it was a really good workout! have a look at the bycyclemania challenge website for a really good route from Walesby.
