This bank holiday weekend you may have decided to avoid the traffic and instead enjoy the local countryside by bike. Perhaps a trip down the canal or through the woodlands of Ashridge has given you a taste for off-roading and now you want to do something a bit more exciting? You're not alone and two groups have recently contacted us asking for links on the Links page.
Aston Hill is one of the premier DH, 4X and XC riding locations in the South East. An 'Arrive and Ride' all day pass costs £5. They are open 9.00am - 5.00pm weekends and bank holidays so why not go there today?
MTBberkhamsted have been mountain biking for nearly 10 years in and around the great countryside of Berkhamsted. If you would like to join them they meet at Ellesmere Road (top of New Street) at 9.00am Sundays and 7.30pm Wednesdays followed by a couple of beers - all levels welcome.
MTB Clubs
Numerous MTB clubs have appeared over the years, often formed through a group of friends simply going for a ride and enjoying the trails. If you've thought about riding with a local club, then have a look at the map below to establish where your nearest club is.
Many people find a new social circle through club riding, not to mention of course the advantage of riding with a group who've got local trail knowledge.
If you operate an MTB club, or if you know of a club that's not listed, and feel they ought to be, please email us with the details and a web address if possible.
