Any riders in Bradford on Avon?

Have recently moved to Bradford, am looking for any local MTBers that wouldnt mind me tagging along one day / showing me around the area?

Ive seen a fair few riders around, but dont know of any clubs as such.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

there's no club as such in the area, but there is a group of riders who go out every Thursday night all through the year for a 10 - 20 mile (depending on the mood/weather/season) ride along the many tracks on both sides of the valley between BOA and Bath. The ride is a good laugh and ends up at the Castle Inn at the top of Masons Lane where lots of beer is consumed after the ride without fail. They meet outside TT Cycles at 7.15pm on Thursday nights. Tag along, introduce yourself and see how it goes - don't forget beer money (I live in Bristol now, so only catch up with the Thursday night crew once every few months - but if you like fast, fun, hilly rides and like to drink lots of beer, you'll get on with them fine)

Sounds perfect, thanks for the heads up!

I think so, but I havnt been out with them for at least a year now. Good bunch though, pop along and introduce yourself!

There are a couple local clubs. Both have regular night and weekend rides. Both cater for xc riders. BCC have their own downhill trails as well.
