I'd be up for something if my skill level raises from yellow tag to at least yellow belt this year (you get yellow tag when you buy a bike).

Currently 2019 MTB options will be:
1. service bike, do jump skills course, try and ride at least every 2 months
2. service bike, make it worse, get fucked off, sell bike, never ride again

Where are you based jono?

I’d suggest a few trips to Chicksands if you’ve got a car or don’t mind the few miles ride from Biggleswade.
As the name suggests, it’s a very sandy area so the trails are flowy and rolling as opposed to technical rocks n roots.

Although I’ve not been there for a number of years I’m certain it’s still the perfect place to learn a bit of jumping.

The Dual Slalom and 4X courses are good for building confidence.

Cheers, i'm south east so not ideal but i'll keep it on the list.

Looking at doing the jump course with Jedi in Hertforshire then as i'm going to be heading to Bath more this year stopping at Windhill to session the blues (there's a rooty red and then it's all laughably big). I've joined a group of friends at BPW a couple times and loved it each time but my car wing man/Bath stop off has given up on MTB due to other commitments which makes it too far to fly solo. TBH i should just check out the Surrey hills but i'm not much of an adventurer and like my trails sign posted!
