Hi, i've been a long time reader of the forums, and live in the area. Just wondered if people get to bourne woods much? Found the DH track the other day, not really friendly for my xc bike, but looks like some fun! Congrats to whoever made it!0
-
Some of the guys have been there a few times, sounds good. You'd be very welcome to join the rides!
Up for later Troopy

Do you reckon you could do that on a hardtail?
Oh, hello, I'm from Cambridge and often go to Thetford, but looking for other good places if anyone has some suggestions would be good. Just getting my girlfriend into it so hopefully some weekends away will be on the cards! I live in the City so I really lack places to ride...!0 -

At times like this do you really need a helmet?

That's all part of the fun surely?! And also, it doesn't hurt so much when you fall off!0 -
So when can people make a ride? Weather looks good for tomorrow. I'm going to be out some where for sure.My Ride Stumpjumper Expert 20080

I'm gonna head off to bourne woods soon, probably gonna be there about 12:30 if anyone wants to meet up. If you see a seriously tall bloke with a white (practical) tshirt/all black gear on a scott ht then give me a shout.0

I'll be up for anything next weekend, knee is a bit too messed up for anything this week

Stupid question but anyone got some directions, googlemaps or similar, as to how to get to bourne woods/parking etc? As hoping to get a lift there tomorrow, i dont drive

Go on google maps and put in "52.770429,-0.402449" in the search box - that is the entrance to the car park.0
-
I'd definitely be up for Larok's suggestion of a group ride - Sunday's are best for me but I can't do tomorrow (the 20th)....
Cheers

Sgt Marmite your back!
Hows the rockhopper? Glad you up for a ride.
How does a week tomorrow, (sunday) sound for people? Can't be the following weekend as it's the Wales weekender!! All welcome to that as well!
OMG it's so busy it's like being in the Scouts!My Ride Stumpjumper Expert 20080 -
I'm still very much interested in Wales, just need to find out if i can make the dates work wise.
