    will email you later mate....

    im in a small village between stratford and evesham...so slightly wrong direction for you..but got car carrier also so no probs with me getting anywhere...

    Ive got Bredon Hill not too fare away form me (25 mon dr) which is awsome to climb..absolutely knackering .. bordering on passing out halfway up, but the views at the top are stunning and you can imagine the blast down is pretty exhillerating too. Ive only done this once with a neighbour but cant wait to do it again........once we have some longer spell of dry weather.
    Also have a cracking little loop nr me about 1hr15mins over bridleways, through wood, uphill and wonhill whihc is a grt blast.
    My neighbour and I are hoping to get to cannock chase over next few weeks...of course open invitation.....Im pretty new to all this after giving up my expensive gym membership and hitting the grt outdoors...now really loving it.

    I live just outside Leamington if anyone is that direction, out towards Harbury. I can often be found rolling around Burton Dassett hills in the evening, I've just started going to Leamington 4X track trying to learn to jump at lunch or at Cannock Chase most weekends.

    I've done a few little loops around here, Ryton Pools, I still want to explore Edge Hill more in the sun, Centenary Way silliness. I need to get across to Warwick by the sound of it, I've heard a few people mention trails that direction.

    I'm not about this weekend, I'm visiting my folks up norf and going biking with some mates in Dalby, unforunately I've totalled a spoke on Burton Dassett tonight somehow so I'm madly trying to find somewhere to fix it or a quick replacement wheel! Damn cheapy factory OEM wheelbuilds!

    We are harbury way too and so could get to burton dassett easily. Also want to find some of the stuff around edge hill too.

    Let us know if anyone is going over there. We are away in Wales this weekend, cwmcarn, afan and brechfa hopefully, but otherwise usually about with a bit of notice!

    Hi All,

    I live in Leamington and have recently got into mountain biking again. I'd love to meet some like minded, similarly aged (20's - 30's) people to go out on the odd mid-week and weekend ride in the area.

    This post seems to have been going for a while... with not much success. So with a bit of luck we can sort something out.

    Cheers

    Charlie

    Hello there :D

    Beginner mountain biker, female 39. No technique whatsoever but lots of enthusiasm.

    Is anyone interested in a cycle one weekend? I'm in a village outside of leamington. No bike carrier yet, but where there's a will there's a way :-)

    Jooles.
