Yes all areas we ride are within 20mins riding we have a route from harlow to great dunmow mostly offroad, only about 5 mins road time max mostly less between each green lane. We ride it regularly both ways as it has every type off terrain minus boulders.


If any member is local to me drop me a message and come play with us. When we know more routes i will arrange a sunday out.

Haha thats the one stu.

And yer my skills are far improved alot off it is strength as the bike feels relivtly light now. and speaking to an mx shop over who gave me pointer which helped loads mostly on bends. And ruts i discovered stand up and hold on lol. Also the sensation off losing the arse end isnt a worry any more getting good at controlling it which is mostly dont over react lol.

And greybeard me and my mates do the crossings last so we can get rid off most of the mud lol

Looks great fun, used to do a lot of river crossing in the Brecon Beacons in Wales years ago on a DR500 and Montessa.

Easy enough for the first one, he can see all the big rocks and stones and have a clear run, :lol: not so for those behind :o
