Hey all I'm Jack from Derby, I ride an Orange Alpine 160 RS usually ride cannock Chase and Sherwood pines , got a day at bike park Wales and lady bower booked for start of next month, hoping to do more natural trails rather than centres but most of my friends don't really fancy it

Welcome man, there's a fair few guys here that are local to Cannock. Few of them know some awesome off piste stuff around there as well.
If you want natural trails, get our there and ride them!

Done a few of the off piste stuff at cannock, alot more fun than trails
My biggest problem with natural is if worked out everything wants to kill you haha
Random rocks and roots and trees appear out of no where , makes for great riding tho , there's some woods not far from mine I go to and just follow a trail and get lost for an hour or two that's good for practise
Proper natural trails rather go with other people jusssst in case

That's half the fun though dude! Keeps you on your toes! Trail centres are lovely but there's not really stuff that makes your bum crush diamonds that often.

Welcome. You have come to the right place.
I'm from Derby and ride an Orange 5 or Ragley HT.
Coincidentally a group of us have been at Cannock today.
Keep an eye open on here for rides in the Peaks. We've had some great rides up there. |
