Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

I’m yet to get back to BPW since it’s reopened (I’m only 30min away) but I should imagine the trails are mint as the trail builders were there for about 2 months before it reopened building a new trail And doing loads of maintenance on the existing ones.

Cwmcarn is certainly worth a stop if you’re going there.
But the locally built trails around that valley, near Risca/Machen are in my mind incredible.

Finally got round to getting some parts for my San Quentin build... should probably do a current projects thread.

👍🏼 I do quite like the colour on these

Swinley Forest next Monday (10th)? @Dammit @amey @platypus @lowbrows

I'd like to tag along if I'm feeling confident enough

Oh yeah anyone welcome.

Mondays are off limits till nursery starts fully; are you talking 10th or 17th?

Monday !?!?!?!

show me that trek!

10th. I don't drive to ride bikes at weekends.

Good point, havent done a CP for that either - it's my new(ish) TT bike

When you said this the other day I thought you meant Sunday :(
I'll be at work.

..I can also do Sunday probably. Though I fear I might end up in Epping instead

in Epping instead

There's a bog with your name on it.

And a tree in Surrey?
Where else can I spread myself

Also, no bogs for me until I have a bb that isn't crumbling

It's dry out there, don't worry

This thing is fun.

CP thread for my San Quentin here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/351975/newest/

Will make a note of the local trails as I reckon we’ll head back later in the year. Cwmcarn was a lot of fun and seeing some local nutcase riding the big jump line was great
