A couple of years ago while out with a mate riding around Gotham we bumped into some guys from Kegworth who said they meet up at the Red Lion. I'd like to join you on a ride if that's ok.
Hopefully one of those riders will see this post.

    I saw a website of a Nottingham mountain bike/offroad club or something along those lines. In the photos, seemed to be a lot of couples of off-road tandems!? Have you tried typing something with Nottingham MTB related, into Google and then going through the links?

    Thanks for the info... I'm actually already a member of NATS and enjoy riding with them when I can.
    The Kegworth query was more for midweek evening and poss daytime rides.

    I was a very early member of NATS in the early 90's. In the days when Sshokwave had a racing team. Got involved with that but NATS fell out with Sshokwave! NATS were ok but a lot of bike tarts there lol! Didn't like getting their bikes mucky.... :evil:

    I joined in 2001 and there aren't many of the riders who were in the club then that ride today so I doubt if you would know anybody
    We were out today and there was no shortage of mud and nobody seemed to mind.
    I think it's a lot different to the early 90's!!

    Hi mr biscuit, I am not from Kegworth, but not so far away in Shepshed, drop us a line if you fancy a local(ish) ride one weekday evening.

    Hi Ingle. Will have to check out my lights to make sure the battery us still ok. Will be in touch. Do you know your way around Whitick woods as I always get lost in them? They would be good in the dark!

    Hi Mr Biscuit,

    Kind of yes, i can make my way round them pretty well in the daylight - but at night i could wander off track a little - all part of the fun perhaps?
    Drop me a PM when you've checked your lights - we can ride up to Whitwick woods from here.
    Will be a mudfest there now the weathers broke....
