Hi, I ride Thetford/Brandon most weekends. We have a group of riders organising regular rides on our forum here: http://ificantrideit.myfastforum.org/ You'll have to excuse how small the forum is compared to this one, it's going through a bit of a 'transition' at the moment, as you may pick up from one of the recent topics on it! But it's still very much active and any new riders are quite welcome, we're a friendly bunch. The rides are pretty quick through the singletrack, but fairly social, normally stopping after a section of singletrack, to let everyone catch up and have a bit of a chat, then riding on to the next good bit. Feel free to join in on the forum and come out on any rides you fancy. It's always good to see new faces.

Thetford on a Sunday morning, around Sudbury during the week and I am doing the Mud Sweat and Gears series this year as well, next round 5th June at Tunstall "bring it on".
I was at High Lodge on Sunday and did the Black then the Red courses. In my opinion the Red is best, I like the beast but its way too short.

I cannot see where I can register to access the site?

With rather brilliant timing, there's been some changes going on on the forum I originally linked to. The outcome is that last night there was a change of server and web address. The new address is: http://ificantrideit.buffer.uk.com/index.php it's a bit short on posts at the moment, as all the old posts from the old forum have been lost during the change over, but I'm sure it'll fill up soon.

Hi Greg. The guys I ride with have a ride planned for Saturday, starting at 9:30am, from Brandon Country Park car park. Sadly I can't make it this week, as I'm visiting my girlfriend, who is working in the Netherlands at the moment. Looks like there'll be a few others out though: http://ificantrideit.buffer.uk.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12
