    Are there any mountain bikers out there? I live in Trowbridge and would love to go out for the odd morning/afternoon in the weekend (until Spring when evenings might be possible!) I cycle most weekends but need to drive a distance to meet friends and would like to meet some local bikers! Just back today from Afan Forest in Wales and on a high! Difficult to say what standard I am, as would obviously like to meet similar standard to me! Did one of the red trails in Afan - does that help?

    Anyway whatever moutain biking you do it would be worth taking a look at the black canon collective - www.blackcanoncolective.co.uk based in Warminster / Longleat

    I only really do DH, but as a club we do XC, and night rides take a look I'm sure you will find somthing there for you.

    Mountain bikes don't they have those pedals you have to push around with your feet. Now two wheels without an engine is just too much like hard work, then there are those saddles designed to part you from your man bits.
