Hi guys

I'm new to this forum but do know one or two of you from Brighton and Worthing way.

Just moved to Crawley and really need to get my backside out on the bike again after a long lay off.

Do these Tilgate rides happen every Wednesday evening and if so what sort of pace are they? Can't make this one due to a previous commitment but looking to do one soon.

Cheers

Si

Bob - Yes thanks

Si - In Tilgate, no one gets left behind!!!
In all seriousness we don't push hard. Mileage tends to around 10 and we are back at the car park by 9. Yes they are reguler. Light are definitely required though.

...and mud tyres.

Si,

You're more,than welcome to join us - extra riders are always a good thing - we will always pace things to suit all attendees.

Just bring lights, a helmet, water and a sense of humour.

See you soon.

It will take to long to explain them all mate,
One of them is close to one I tried a couple of years ago but didn't really work
With ya back to the ride tilgate sign you head to the little section of single track in the fir trees been there years with a small little bomb hole in it

Come to the end cross fire road on to a old wide bit of single track that brings u out near the old downhill track ,half way along this track some kids av tried to build a table top jump

If u go over the jump ( can roll it) at an angle pointing rights should c the start of el guapo,it's short but sweet puppy flowy fun

Another one starts of the fire road that goes from the bottom of parish lane gravel path up past the old downhill track. Then drops down again and brings u to a wooded section ,u can either go down the hill or straight over to join the long main fire road ,well in that corner of the junction starts cheeky chappy ,it runs down past where all them big dirt jumps used to b,crosses over the fire road into a big rut and drops u down just before the stream run

Tony, thanks for the hard work on those trails, they are a lot of fun, much appreciated. I'm sure they are even better to ride when it's not lashing down with rain!

Perfect vid Bob :lol: (just missing the rain and mud)
