Hi, I've been off the mountain bike for more years than I care to remember and am looking towards getting back into it. If you're not super-fit and are also looking for a 'riding partner' - no Brokeback Mountain jokes please - then either reply here or drop me a PM.

    Hi,I'll just be riding a cross-country bike - no huge travel for me! [:(][:D]

    I'm on holiday next week so won't be available for any rides. I take if from your user name that you're from Balby? [;)] Maybe arrange a pre-ride meet at the Cecil to see if we can stand one another? [:o)]

    Hey hippies

    FYI I used to ride round donny about 10 years ago. Extreme sports (who I believe are still around behind the Odeon) always knew the best tracks - we used to hit the trail with Wil Longden back in the day.

    Stainforth Quarries used to rock, as did kings wood, Bawtry and Cantly dippers.

    Ah, those tracks rocked.

    Aye, good riding here. Decent fun to be had in the Pentland hills, which is only a 30 minute ride from the house, or it's a 40 minute drive to Glentress and Innerleithan. Hills everywhere!

    Hi. I thought it might be 'best' to meet up at Cecil first before deciding to go for a ride. At least then we'd 'know' each other a bit 'better'. You know just erring on the side of caution. [:D] Apart from that I'm free most daytimes and evenings apart from Monday afternoon, Wednesday daytime, Friday evening, all-day Saturday and every other Sunday.
