  • Hi all, I'm keen to plan an off road ride in and around Wendover Woods.

    Have a look at this link. I would like to do the Hill Fort Tour loop.

    http://www.mtbtrails.info/Trail_Venue.aspx?VenueNumber=115

    The idea is that @Dannytomblin and I will provide transport for people and bikes, we'll explore the woods and then have a bite to eat afterwards. Bring snacks for the mid ride pause and a change of clothes! Suitable bikes e.g. knobbly tyres will be needed and a certain level of courage.

    Let me know if you fancy going.

  • Brilliant still thinking weekend 5th or 6th Dec

  • Just read details seen date 😂

  • Yeah I'd like to go on the 6th of December.

  • I am a possible.

  • You can count me in for his one, exciting..

  • Count me in :-)

  • I would be a possible also

  • There only one spot left. Who's going to get it ?

  • @Woods
    Please click the "I can make it"button at the top of the page.

  • Hi J, I'm not sure what my plans are next Sunday, so I'll not steal the last place at this stage until I know I can definitely make it.

  • This ride is fully booked.
    Watch this space for more info about Sunday morning.

  • @MattH @Woods @Dannytomblin @StephenT @keithrose @DarrenLong
    Right gentlemen,
    Here is the plan for Sunday :
    We will meet at W Ganderton & Son @07:00 load up and head to Wendover. We'll park in the car park in the middle of town. I'd like to be pedalling before 08:00 if possible.
    There is nowhere on the route to stop for cake so please bring your own snacks and drinks. We will plan on a refreshment pause about halfway round, aiming to finish before lunch. Please bring a change of clothes for the journey home. We can stop on the way home if anyone needs more food. Finally back to Solstice Cycles for a well deserved cup of tea.
    I had some trouble downloading the GPX from the MTB trails web site. I have made my own copy. If you want it the files are below.

    If I think of anything else I'll post up here. If you have any questions do the same.
    See you all Sunday morning.

  • Not sure if it's just me but i can't see the files that John uploaded so i got the original one from the MTBTrails site.
