Where to go on the wekend?

...Apparently quite a lot of its total length is rideable so it could be a good day / weekend trip...

At the risk of sounding like a bore, please check that the sections of the Ridgeway you ride are a) byways and b) not TROed. As the south's best known ancient trail it's been the centre of the rambler v. motorist debate recently. I believe that Wiltshire has imposed a few TROs, but as the Ridgeway is so long there's a number of councils with the power to impose TROs on their section.

Otherwise, have fun and post photos!

Iswoolley,

Wise words indeed. I tend to avoid 'playing' on major attraction spots at peak times (I'm referring to the Pilgrim's Way in Kent). Those ramblers think they own the place!!

Perhaps people who are considering the Ridgeway may want to consider Salisbury Plain - think they're pretty close, and I think the Plain is less likely to be infitrated by the RA.

The thing is - I don't know where to start. I'm a dirt track virgin and don't know where Ridgway is and what is it .

I've heard that I have to buy OS maps to get all the information I need, but which map do I buy and where from?

Is there any information on the net?

Have some MCE Karoos arriving next week. We are away for easter but will be keen to test them out as soon as they arrive. Possibly the weekend after?
Will be in touch

I've heard good things about the Karoos. Where did you get them from and how much?

Next weekend sounds fine. That's unless I manage to damage my bike in the next few days.

I have found a nice series of greenlanes that start around the guildford area & finish around box hill with a few road sections in between. Its a good days riding (allowing for a few breathers). Will be out there again in the next few weeks, will give you a shout. Where abouts in London are you?

Hello Gibbo...

Got any info on the above? Boxhill isn't far from here and I'd be interested in the route...

Bit busy in May but fancy a jaunt at some point?
