I'm working in Lincoln for part of the week for probably the next month. Don't know the area at all, wondered if there's much riding to be done, or any local groups I could tag along with?

Cheers,

Jez

Post up on www.louthnet.com/LAMB for xc style riding (usually a bit further afield than Lincoln, but there are some riders from there) or trailblazerz at Market Rasen for some pretty extreme downhill / freeriding.

As mentioned above

LAMB (link above) do regular Wednesday evening and Sunday morning rides

Mostly based around Louth/Rothwell/Binbrook/Belchford areas

If you want some XC stuff then LAMB rides are good fun, nothing really technical, just some nice single/doubletrack & beautiful views over the rolling Wolds

If you want something a bit more like Freeride/DH, then Rasen Area Trailblazers have some stuff for you, just outside Market Rasen

If you have a car, loads of stuff is under an hour away in most cases half an hour

Oh & if anyone is in the Lincolnshire area this Sunday, it's the Bicyclemania MTB challenge, choose between 20 or 40 miles

I'm slowly building up a few rides around Lincoln. What sort of thing are you looking for?

For just putting a few miles on your legs there is a path running along the Witham (old rail line) which goes as far as Boston but you can chop off that in quite a few places.

If you head south there are a few footpaths and quiet roads to choose from.

I'm not too sure about local groups though (that's why I registered here, to try and find some myself)
