wibbles   10 #1 Posted October 2, 2003 Hi all,  Just wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of any decent local Mountain Biking organisations...i.e that organise trips and rides etc. Also if there are any other fellow riders out there that may be interested in doing some rides over the coming winter months please let me know...I have been let down by friends that 'can't make it' so would appreciate some biking company. I am not some radical downhiller..just an every day cross country rider..semi-fit, who enjoys the countryside and the challenge and a good pint or 2 afterwards.

wearetherobots   10 #3 Posted October 12, 2003 Not sure about clubs but the best rides are to be found in wharncliffe woods near Grenoside. Some extremely technical riding to be found up there. Not quite Canada but the closest thing to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

mrgee   10 #5 Posted December 26, 2009 If you ask me...go on your own...went through a phase of going with my mates..never again!..theres allways 1 who moans...another who wont drink enough...another who gets a flat tyre (and no tools)...another will want to go home before you do...another cant keep up...another who wont be ready when your there to pick them up so you can get off....waste of time!  In the end i just went about it in my own way,allthough whilst your out and about you do come across like minded people....Saturday/sundays up at ladybower carpark/cafe is a mecca for mtb,ers..Theres allways like minded people around and no-ones hard to get on with in that enviroment.

I do night rides and rides at weekends, sometimes i ride local from hunters bar roundabout or ride from hope, however i have been going upto dalby, which has been awsome, i also go up scotland or wales in the warmer months. anyone who would like to get a fun group together, i.e. that steady riding NO going hundred miles an hour but just to ride and socialise with cafe stops and the pub or cafe at the end. just drop me a line, Pato Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
