trail riding aylesbury/surrounding areas????

[hman]

Having just completed 3 days riding in the Andalucian mountains courtesy of trailworld ( seriously awesome !!!)

I am trying to find out how much off road trails are available in my local area before I buy a trail bike.

I live in aylesbury which means that thame, princes risborough, wendover, tring, buckingham, whaddesdon etc are all within about 10-20mins ride, however i would go further if needs be - but as you know nobblys on tarmac isnt going to be a great ride if it gets wet.

appreciate your input on this.

Cheers

Hate to say it, but with the closure of the Ridgeway to all motorised traffic and NERC bill - almost none

Thank the ramblers - gits.

Yep and some Farmers. The Ramblers cause more damage than any other group but are organised. Then you have Farmers. Ever checked the width of the ruts??? I'd check the Trail Riders Fellowship web site and see if you have a club close by.

Come down to the Plain .. Lots of trails to ride / explore and the giid news your little bike will do less environmental damage than a Challenger2 tank

Have a similar trip booked in November with Redtread.com . What bikes were you on? We are on the Honda 450's (is it CRF?).

I cannot wait - but having tried to sit on one of these last time in a Honda dealer am worried I may be a little on the short side! Have done the BMW off road school on the 1150GS and that was ok after getting used to the size - so hoping this will be the same.

salisbury plain?

a little far to ride on knobblys??

Just go down any road in the area, and instead of weaving all over the place trying to avoid all the massive pot holes - simply ride in a straight line.


HTH.

have to agree with previous poster, salisbury plain, used to go there quite often when i was based in tidworth, just watch the tank tracks in the dry, they hurt!!
