How do you know where to find the trails and not be riding on private land?

OS maps and from mountain biking in the 80s plus I got involved in Long Distance Trials later on where we researched what’s legally rideable for the route maps.

We’ve been losing a lot of the remote play areas up on the North Downs where you’d see all types of offroaders playing on a weekend :(

Had an absolutely cracking day with 4 TRF-ers on the lanes of Surrey today, I reckon it was minus something degrees C all day, but coffee and cake stops,including one at Ryka's Box Hill ( unsurprisingly only 3 road bikes there when we were there this morning 🥶 ) kept us alive :D ,- I was absolutely amazed that we found this weather in Surrey today, but it was lovely out there, some ( surprisingly to me ) decent long lanes too and not too much road work- definitely worth the time in the van to get there and will do that route again I think :thumbup:

Our eldest popped over so whilst she was having a brew I had a whizz about on the Yamaha Neos, it's a brilliant little thing, loads of fun, restricted to 30mph but that's all you need, I was flying around the lanes really enjoying myself.

No pics from when I was out, but here it is stashed in our alcove next to the wood delivery that I need to chop and stack...

Took 4 lads out who are over from Fuerteventura.
I let the mad Jock ride mine on a big hill and he flipped and looped it. Rear mudguard pointing upwards.

In the pic you can see it wobbly after 10 minutes kicking, bending and prodding.
Took it all apart and repaired with cable ties and prayers.

A Scotch bent your bike?

You'll never get money out of him to fix it. :(

LOL. It was funny to watch. For everyone else.
He has a 250 4 stroke.
300cc 2 stroke was too much. The bike bounces well

2 of them were from Barnsley.
When we got yapping, the others had no idea what we were saying.

Had an amazing 2 days with pals from Fuertaventura. Unfortunately, the lad who pranged my bike yesterday had a massive anxiety attack after 5 minutes into the ride. I took him back to the road and he was able to ride back. Then spent the day in the sea.

Great lads and they've invited us all over there.
