Went for a gruelling 25 miler with Fest on Tuesday night around the Bath hills again :cool: I think the lights will be needed more often now the nights are drawing in :(

Yes I was riding a modern :oops:

And a youtube linky after the pics above & before it got too dark HERE in HD if you have the bandwidth ;)
 
Someone mentioned the Quantock hills?

I've been up a few times recently, current fave starting point is in the cockercombe area & trails around Triscombe & Great wood. There is some dedicated downhill trails carved through a forest somewhere but xc is more my thing so I tend to go out on loops from a point in the lower hills.

pics from last Weds.

Yay the Quantocks! Was where I cut my teeth 15 years ago, and where I've just started to ride again! Went up 3 out of the last 4 weeks for a small ride to ease my unfit self back in :oops: .

I've also got to build my confidence up, too keen on the brakes :facepalm:

The Holford end is always good!

Near Triscombe Park Gate

Looks good that love the trails in the Mendips!

I live 10 mins from the Quantocks so spend most of my time riding up there and work in Exeter so ride Haldon a fair bit too.

I've got a 1994 Lava Dome, it's a bit of a mixture of new and old parts but makes a nice change from my other bike.

If anybody wants to lead a Quantocks ride contact an area rep (tiboltrider being one) and they can arrange one for early 2014.

I'd be really keen with enough warning to plan ahead.
 
I'll come along possibly be willing to lead if peeps don't mind a bit of a cautious downhiller :LOL:

And maybe i should improve my fitness first! The first hill near killed me today on the Mendips! :oops:
