Welcome,

Don't know of anything so far but haven't really been looking. I think the weather is a bit of a dampener at the moment. I think a few of us would like another day at Chicksands sometime soon.

Welcome buddy!

What sort of riding are you into?

If you're looking for club based XC stuff Bedgebury are doing night rides at the mo.

Thetford should be a good ride Cool

. Am not in an XC frame of mind currently myself but have heard good things from there.

A lot of spots are clay based so don't run too well at this time of year. PORC's quarry and 4x is sand/clay based so not too bad or there's DJ's at Redhill.

Am in Holland over xmas so won't be around. Anyone have any other riding plans over the xmas period?

Was thinking of heading up to Chicky with Lem+Weine, but kind of dictated by the weather right now.
Porc would be worth a go, but the 4X isn't exactly in great nic right now, but could be worth a peak.
Thinking of heading down to Cwn Carn early in the new year after seeing it briefly on the Extreme channel over the weekend.

Been speaking to Hippy Lee about Friston. Some people have been busy down there and Les says he's opened up some of the old downhill trails that he says are running really smooth.

He's down there most weekends at the mo, weather permitting?!?

Worth a look.

Welcome Jon!

Friston is good but not for 4X/Dirt Jumping. When I last went (a few years ago) the DH was good fun so it should be better by now. There's also a good portion of XC too.

I've only ever been to Friston with my XC bike, can't wait to try it on the bouncy bike.
