A couple of years ago I started getting into the idea of a trail / enduro bike.
Since then I've discovered trail riding, ridden up in the mountains in Tenerife on an XR250, entered (and finished!) six 3 hour hare & hounds, got wet, muddy & knackered, sold the road bike, discovered 50 different ways to fall off a bike & had a great time.

I'm now hooked. One of the best things is the feeling of speed - honestly 50mph on a loose surface 2ft from a hedge is as thrilling as a ton on the road.

Anyone else discovered the dirty side?

I used to do a lot until DEFRA changed the bl00dy law and effectively closed all the lanes local to me (including the Ridgeway).

Gits.

Hey Y2, Where is that lane? Looks easy enough for my SM to cope with so I'd love to have a go on it.

Cheers.

so where are all those interested in this located?

I am in West Malling in Kent - Hampshire is a bit far to travel on a off road bike, Essex (if it is near Lakeside - that is about my knowledge of Essex!) could be ok?

Where are you all located?
