i hear mtb riders are a friendly lot. any cross country riders around the northants area want to take an over weight, northern novice on a hard tail under their wing. i'm up for learning everything there is to offer.

    A bunch of us old knackers ride around the back of Rushden, you're welcome to tag along if you fancy.
    Currently we're night riding for a couple of hours on a Thursday evening, and should be up to something Sunday morning.

    We ride natural XC out into North Bedsand around Santa Pod, we use the Stanwick lakes route as a backbone for some of our own variations, Pitsford and Grafham are generally for when the weather's bloody awful. Personally I also like Irchester CP, got a little 3 mile loop in there.
    If we go further afield it's usually FTD over at Cannock.

    There's supposed to be some interesting riding to be had in the quarry up near Weekly Glebe, haven't been there yet, saving it to see if we get a summer one year soon.

    You won't slow us down, if you have lights we could meet you by the Diamonds on Thursday, when I know what we're up to on Sunday I'll post a suitable meet point.

    Next Sunday we're meeting a guy from Desborough at Irchester Country park if you want to tag along. ICP is a three mile loop that we make less or more technical as we fancy.
    Drop me a PM for details.
