How far is your nearest trail ?

[Dr.GonzO]

2 minutes ebike ride to enter a 40km. singletrail ride if you know al the trails around here (riding here for over 30 years) or 100km (1 hour ride) with the car to different places around here with some nice relative short descends (230 hight meters max.)

Probably about 2 miles up a darn big hill in one direction:
Or 5.5 mile the other way, on flat bike-lane stuff through two long old railway tunnels:

That all looks familiar. That's one of our long routes we do in the summer. We're in BoA so we go out through Bathford and home through the two tunnels. Or vice versa. It's nice to stop off at the beach on the way back.

How long is a piece of string. Because I move about a lot with work and time out, it all depends where I am. That’s why every now and then I will post up on here for riders in the area to join for ride outs. At the moment I am in Minehead and have found some trails up in the woods and some bridle paths with some good climbs and some good downhills. At the beginning of March I will be on the Gower in South Wales so will be trying to get to Bike park Wales as much as I can on my days off so hopefully will be meeting up with some guys up there.

Why would you live in a place without trails if mountain biking is what you love to do. I'm about 1.5 miles from the nearest park and 10 miles from 4 others.
How close are we to a park was one of my top priority's in buying a house.

Having got back into it last August and getting an e-mtb about a month ago I sling the bike In the back of the car for a lunch break ride 40 miles away near Bodmin ( UK), once a week. 2 dedicated trail sites, Lanhydrock and Cardinham. Ideal for what used to be an hour's ride, more like 35 - 40 mins with the e-mtb. Enough fun to keep me ticking over til dry months and school hols when I'm hoping to hit Welsh hills for a week or two.
.....and once a week I get out on the manual road bike for fitness purposes.

I have to cross the road, and maybe do a few minutes on gravel paths first. Depends what direction I'm going.
Now during winter and lots of snow, I prefer to drive 10 minutes across the valley to an area free of xc skiing tracks. This area is used by bikers and people walking on foot, so it evolves into hard packed single tracks. It gets super fast and perfect for ebike

I live on the south coast of the UK and it's not too bad. It's 5 minutes cycling to get to the south downs and I'm within reach of Steyning, Wild Park and Stanmer for local stuff, plus the south downs themselves for some xc... Takes about 20 minutes to get here after I've put the kids to bed!

I have a trail head 100 yards from my front door to Mission Trails Regional Park in San Diego, one of the largest urban open space parks in the US. San Diego County in general is a mountain biking paradise, I feel lucky.

Nice location. A bit different conditions here

It's never wasted time if it means you don't have to ride at Cannock!

Your obviously not riding in the right place

5 minutes riding gets me onto singletrack ..10 minutes more into Europe's largest man made forest ( 250 Square miles) ..its a 20 minute car ride up to the purpose built mtb trail network at Kielder ( 100 miles + of purpose built trail) ..however I do like a road trip and living in North West Northumberland the North Pennines , Cheviot Hills, Lakes & Scottish Borders are at most a couple of hours away ..total utopia

Yeah, Cannock…

I’ve ridden off-piste there a few times but it’s not a patch on the Forest of Dean.
