Mountain Biking in West Sussex – Powered by Quest Adventure
I’m a bit late with this one so I’ll just say that it was an amazing turnout, 31 people! Probably rather too many for one ride, but we managed to keep it all together, although the puncture fairy was out in force
As per usual there was a nice wee climb in the route [...]
We started early on a Saturday morning and we were lucky with the weather as it was slightly overcast and not too warm. It took us the best of 15 minutes to get away from the hectic traffic in Phnom Penh before we hit the muddy tracks that immediately reminded me of APE.
I had borrowed [...]
This one was posted a bit late so it was no surprise that only 5 of us turned up at The Lookout car park on the outskirts of Swinley Forest, Bracknell just after 10.30 last Saturday. The weather was changeable and the remains of the previous 2 weeks snow was clear to see but looked [...]
During the start of this batch of snowy weather I was ill and missed out on getting some snowy rides in, so I was really looking forward to the Quest ride and getting myself bogged down in some of the stuff!
Although it was cold there was a good turn out down at Quest and the [...]
A bunch of us hired out Skaterham, the indoor skatepark in Caterham. It’s always great to have the place to yourself and we had a good sized group today. A mixture of MTB, trials and BMX’s, it’s always good to push each other to try stuff you normally wouldn’t and help each other progress our [...]
Saturday morning and we were promised no rain till later in the day. I was pretty annoyed to open the front door and find it spitting all the way up to Quest then! As per usual a throng developed and by the time I stuck my head out the door just after 10:00 there was [...]
As I sit here, sore as hell, bloodied, bruised and scraped and cut, I reflect on my chalky adventure down south on SMTB’s home patch. It was Hoop’s idea.
He posted a very appealing looking ride at Whiteways early Sunday morning. I haven’t in this area since doing old school xc racing back in the day, [...]
It had been a while since we’d done anything out of the ordinary and Hoops’ suggestion for a bonfire party seemed too good to miss. So everyone turned up with various food, drink and fireworks, not to mention various axes and firelighting equipment!
So we set off on a short ride, first of all trying to [...]
For this month I wanted to do something a little bit different as we had been doing variations of fairly similar routes for the last few Quest rides. It was time to head west for some open downland action.
The weather was pretty much perfect for this time of year with sunny skies, a bit of [...]
Well, it’s holiday time again, and this time I was determined to get some riding in. We had never been to the Rockies before, so this time Durango in Colorado was our first destination. Durango is know as a mecca for cross country mountain bike trails, and it had been recommended by a friend who [...]
