I'm guessing that's not in the UK, is it?

A turd in a flaming paper bag most days 😡

Timely as i stopped to take sme photos this monring.

[img] [/img]

Scotroutes photo is about 70 miles in that direction

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

TR.
Can we come and visit you? 🙂

Any time stu - so long as im in the uk and not in sme shit hole

We have just moved house about ten miles inland which means I have cool mountains on four sides. Before we were by the sea which limited the mountains on two sides! This is my most local trail...

[img] [/img]

Scotroutes seems to have the doorstep challenge nailed as well!

We have been thinking of heading up your way later in the year.
So we might just take you up on that.

[img] [/img]

That was earlier this week.
Now they look like they've come off one of those bodies that's been in a peat bog for a few thousand years.

Yep not the UK, it's sunny cyprus.
It was a good ride just hade to doge the goats.

4 or 5 good pubs, 3 or 4 excellent Indian restaurants, a cricket ground, a rugby ground, Britain's best high street (officially, honest!) , where I work (10 mins away), several good friends, my campervan, etc

Just enough of this to keep things interesting.

and one of these.

Abingdon.

Miles of muddy double track bridleways. 🙁

Crowded beaches.

Darwen Tower is 10 minutes uphill, road and Bridleway if your fast or 20 mins if your me. Then it's Rivington beyond that. Also lots of little woodland bits I'm finding around Darwen.

Some nice rides. The rest of Darwen is a shithole though.

Wow, swindons looking better these days!

My "nearly" doorstep:

Calverley Woods, Esholt Woods and Shipley Glen...leading onto the moors via Bingley and Cottingley and beyond to Haworth, Oakworth, Oxenhope and Hebden. Out the other side of the Glen to Baildon, Ilkley and Stainburn.

Can also head towards Pudsey, or to Bradford and Spen Valley Greenway or Norwood / Halifax to Ainley Top and over to Mirfield / Huddersfield

The Hamble River 😀

The best we have is some bridleways around Stanwick Lakes. East Mids is shite for local riding hence the road bike. It does look nice around here in the summer though but it's dull to ride.

Good for bmx spots though. 2 concrete parks are a 10 minute drive away as is Adrenaline Alley.

A trail that takes me down to the coast..

1st trail is about 6k. Coast trail is 18k.

This is not so good for riding but lovely to look at (taken from my lounge, which is directly above my front door):

Dartmoor is an easy ride away too - covering my bases well I think!

2 minutes from home, the canals flooded the paths, forget me sealskin socks so got soaking feet both ways this morning..
[IMG] [/IMG]

About 50 metres away...

Where are you then Stoddys? Espana?

Northwind

Pop out and tell them it's all over now.

Keep going along here and you drop down to our house and several others' of the group.

On my usual ride from the house. Not my pic.

Some of you are very lucky...

Some great photos folks.

You know the sky might be blue here in paphos, Cyprus. But I miss the green in those pictures.
🙁
But I don't miss the wet that makes the green.

(view image for more detail)

not much in the way of trails around Munich... there are the trails along the river, but they are currently a bit of a mudfest. being mostly flat with a few short (20m) climbs and decents you need to be a bit of a whippet on a whippet bike to make the most of them. i am neither a whippet or have a whippet bike.

All this (looking down)Driest County in Scotland... 🙂

Miles of sandy loam singletrack inland a bit...

Back on the coast we got dunes...

And miles of techie rocks on the coast at low tide below that flat sandy stuff folk say is boring to ride on those freakin fatbikes

And if you don`t like sand and like roots... 😉

my local playground (albeit a 30 min train/car ride out of town)

Oi! Cheat. 😀

I've just had a look,there's several bags of rubbish and recycling blown down the street from the neighbours.

I'm very lucky here. Photo mid way down Boney Elbows.. 750m or so from my house!
I don't think I could live anywhere better, we are surrounded by superb trail 🙂

I live pretty close to the north downs, so 15 minutes of riding gets me here

I don't have any decent pics of my local stuff but everything in this video is less than 4 miles from my house....

Kirroughtree ---- 5 mins away .

5 mile canal path gnar then I can head up here:

[img] [/img]

A pretty poor representation of what's straight from the door

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

And 30 mins in the car

[img] [/img]

10 minutes walk

[img] [/img]

Though this is one of the drier bits at the moment, I hate it when it's this bad.

[img] [/img]

On the doorstep? At the rented house is next doors car parked just far enough onto the pavement to stop anyone getting past with a pram, at the other one that we've just bought is a garden that resembles day of the triffids.

100m from door this morning

15 mins up Hill Darwen Moor

For those who live in these places and complain about not riding, check out my contours!

Pretty much like that for at least an hours drive in any direction.

East mids for me so absolutely bugger all worth riding from my doorstep.... I really need to move... And quickly.

I am moving

I need to live near the sea...

Or some bigger hills...

Down here:

Then down here:

And my house is just behind the trees

Rideable from home, I can get up here:
