    Someone suggested the route 6 trail thats a nice little ride through to Worksop comes in about 26 miles, Nice mixture of trails that takes you through the Pines.

    As its only 26 miles and fairly flat it would be easy to do an out and back in around 5 or 6 hours.

    Hi , I,m looking for some riding buddies around nottinghamshire, for training rides around the pines or doing some long rides in the peaks, obviously when the weather is better. I know some really good trails around the pines as i only live 5 miles away.If anyone fancy,s meeting up in a couple of weeks let me know on here and we,ll sort a weekend out when we get rid of this crap snow :evil: cheers

    Sounds good but it might be more than a couple of weeks looking at the weather forecast.Send all a PM with a proposed meeting place, time and date when the weather is better.
