Hey guys, long time no see!

Ive been doing some googling but i think my skills have got worse becuase I couldnt find anything I was after... essentially im looking for a website or forum that lists good places to go MTBing in the Greater London / Surrey / South East area, novice level.

Anyone got any suggestions on places or sites?

Thanks
Dooms / Leon

try mountain bike magazines - they always have routes from around the country in and have a look in outdoor shops like Cotswolds too, who have piles of books on mountain biking trails, also see: Blackwells.

also what do you mean by Mountain biking?

If you asked someone like myself of Soopahfly for trails to ride, id wager that theyd be slightly more technical and gnarly than someone who was pootling around the penines with his missus on a sunday afternoon - not that i am being patronising, im just saying - venture with caution!

well as ive recommended - the books from cotwolds, blackwells etc. are good and have graded trails - canal paths etc. can be fun - quick and not too muddy...
