Hi,

Im trying to get back into the MTB scene. I live in Chesterfield and know of a couple of loops which involve bridal and quiet lanes.

I just wondered what online methods do you use to find bridal paths etc to make a loop?

Thanks

Ben.

    Its BRIDLE not bridal
  • Well the post above was friendly and useful...

    OP, I have a similar problem, but the other side of the peaks. I found that saying hello to local MTB clubs was the way, the locals always know the routes and trails. Even though I ended up not doing the hardcore stuff the MTB club were into, their members all pretty much started with towpaths and bridleways. I got some pointers, wished them well, and never saw them again (they were off sown scary rocky bits!), but it relaly helped me find some rides for us a sc a couple, and the club lot were really happy to help.

    Most of the "hardcore" stuff in the Peak IS on bridleways :wink:
    Just get a map and go and ride...or see if you can tag along with other riders.
