Ride Guide for South Midlands People

[Coleman]

There seems to be a bit more interest in South Midlands at the moment so I thought I'd post up some rides from the Cotswold area.

There are from a very old (Retro?!) MTB guide, early 90's I would say, and gives a bit of an idea of whats on offer round here.

If there's enough interest I'll post all 25 rides but for now I've done the first 7 which are based in the north or north west of the region. I think a couple of these, (1 and 6), have been covered recently in MBR ride guides.

Any how, let me know what you think and if you'd like more I'll post 'em.

Not seen that book looks good - maybe we need a to plan a route over a beer or two?

Out of interest does your book recommend wellies as the ultimate in muddy riding gear?

Looks a bit odd to see everyone bare headed

Yeah the author is not big on head protection, quote:

'I sincerely hope that the wearing of helmets remains personal choice'

From memory the early 90's was a time when the nanny state brigade were contemplating such legislature - I agree with personal choice but thats enough said or this'll turn into another helmet/no helmet thread of which there are many!
