👍 I’ll put a post up for a ride around Peaslake in the new year.

🤔 Riding in the Alps is obviously top of the list. This year I was lucky enough to have three trips away and rode in France, Germany, Italy and Austria but in the UK we rode a few new places this year that I loved. My top five In no particular order because they were all brilliant for different reasons. Mallards Pike, Mickleham/Box Hill, Dowies, Afan Masts and the good old Surrey Hills because it always delivers.

😂 🙏 I was chuckling to myself whilst putting it together. Roll on 2025.

😂 Thanks mate. It’s sore today 🙄

🙏👍 I’ll try mate.

Definitely. The steep stuff like this is way outside my comfort zone 😬

😂 Yeah I’m not sure where that came from but it’s been there a while 🤷‍♂️

😂 Reminds me of finding random road cones and lights in the house after a good night on the piss 😁😂🚧

🙏Thanks for watching.

Thanks mate.

honest question... is it ever actually open? or do the MOD just turn a blind eye to riders?

​@daverack you can have a look on line for opening times. It's called aldershot g2 area

You can check online when it's open, it's called aldershot training area g2. Imagine having to call an ambulance there when the gates are closed.

@@patriv7229 nice one! I do check Long Valley and Ash Ranges before I ride those spots

He makes almost as many incoherent noises as you 😂 this is why I put the camera on you boys, I can’t talk because I’m struggling to breathe most of the time 😮‍💨

Sorry about that 😂

TOO LATE my ears are offended

The best bit is, he’s humming the music from the Starwars Cantina scene. I guess he thinks we’re all weird looking 😂

Believe me, I’m not fit in any way, shape or form hence the heavy breathing! It’s a real struggle for me to keep up with the others around here. You don’t need to be fit, you can join me at the back 😂

No worries, it was good to have you along. Hopefully you can join us again in the new year. Thanks for the beers 🍻😁

🙏 That’s Darren aka “Diesel” in the GMBN shirt. He knows his way around there like the back of his hand. Tunnel hill is definitely on the top of my list when the weather isn’t great, provided I have someone to guide me. I couldn’t find my way around if my life depended on it!

@@Moosemears drains so well doesn't it, took me a lot of rides to find my way around, only found the trail at 9:10 on Sunday after riding there semi-regularly for a year. Bet Diesel takes you the sneaky way into Deepcut doesn't he ;), gate was locked when I tried to get out the normal way on Sunday!

😜🤫

@@ellmusec I didn't realise there was another way in that wasn't the sneaky way?!

It’s does seem to drain really well and the trails stay a lot drier than parts of the Surrey Hills

There’s always the odd little bit to keep you on your toes but overall I was impressed how well it ran.

🙏That was definitely a confident toot 😂 I’ve just watched that again and it reminds me how much I love Afan. I really must try and get back there soon.

No worries, I've added Chapters to the ones that I know.

Cheers mate 🍻

Thanks mate. The Shills are definitely the Go to destination around the South for all weather action!

Thanks mate. I’m sure we’ll be heading over Tunnel Hill before long. I’ll post something up when we have a plan.

We’re heading to Tunnel Hill on Sunday if you fancy joining us. 9am pedal off from the Canal Centre Car Park.

@Moosemears That sounds great Russ. I'll see you all there just before 9.

It’s “Booters and Bus stops” or “Lady Boy”

@ cheers mate. Looks good, just don’t think I’ve seen it over there when riding.

@stuartmeaney it starts from the “Hurtwood Car park 6” that’s the little car park off the road climb opposite XR3i

@ got ya cheers mate 👍🏻

🙏Thanks mate

Cheers mate 🍻

Thanks mate, I run Maxxis Assegai front, High Roller II rear.

That would be me if I went there without a guide. I haven’t been up for a while and I imagine the fallen leaves wouldn’t help in locating the trails.

We’re heading over to Tunnel Hill on Sunday if you fancy joining us. 9 am pedal off from the Canal Centre Car Park.

@@Moosemears I may join you mate! Thanks. Youll all be on e bike though right? I ride normal bike so might be a bit slower

Thanks mate. Loved the place. I think I’ll wait until it’s a bit drier to go back though.

🙏 Thanks mate. I’m definitely looking forward to going back and exploring some more.

Cheers Dude. It’s a great place and there’s some more to explore so I can’t wait to go back.

By all means. Add me on Strava and help yourself. www.strava.com/athletes/2328041

Na, I live in Southampton.

Thanks mate 🍻

👍 Well worth the trip.

They are, definitely worth a visit!

👍 I have ridden there a couple of times. I might see if I can get over there again before the winter sets in.

👍🙏 You boys need to come and give it a go.

That’s us. I’m the fat one that was heavy breathing 😁

@@Moosemears 🤣🤣 you rode well mate fairplay. those are steep trails and slippery that day . come back soon and try merthyr vale and Rudry when its raining .. loads of fun then 😀

I think I’ll wait until it’s dry to venture over to that steep stuff again 😱 I cant imagine what they’re like in the wet.

🙏🤞for the weather. An absolutely shite Summer might mean a nice dry winter 🤷‍♂️ who knows?

It was, looking dry for this weekend too 😁😎

🤔 I might try and organise a ride around Peaslake. Keep your eyes peeled for an announcement 📣

keen!

It’s looking dry right through the weekend, I think you’ll have primo dirt don’t worry.

👍 Well out of my comfort zone.

👍😁 Thanks mate.

😂 Some very careful editing 😂

@@daverack Yes it was. We managed to squeeze by without getting too wet.

@@Moosemears glad it's still accessible! some sick trails on that side of the canal

Deri in South Wales not far from Cwmcarn.

@Moosemears thanks, think I've found them

We parked here and rode up through the village to the trails maps.app.goo.gl/XrHH3B1QPNpE829T6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

👍It certainly takes some recalibration 😬

It would be a bad commute each morning for work 😂

@Moosemears 🤣

so do we 😉

You’d miss me too much 😁

👍 It does take a run or two to get your head in to it.

I’d take an off on the flat over coming up short on one of those gaps any day.
