psycholist Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Try Galway in the West of Ireland - loads of rocks on the coast to play on, some class street stuff around the city and everything is within walking distance... There's one trials rider living there too and the cops give no harassment provided you don't cycle on the pedestrian streets... Only problem is Ireland hasn't seen a summer in the past 2 years ...

sstein Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Change from august to july and then join me. Me and my friends are spending all of july driving around the UK with our bikes, stopping off wherever the riding is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best riding is Cligga head that is less than 10 miles away.Plymouth is really good for street riding, with a bit of natural on the seafront. 40 mins outside of Plymouth gets you to some of the best natural in the UK, Dartmoor.

Rich Pearson Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 If you want the proper camping holiday vibe and some awesome riding I'd say you can't go wrong with West Bay, Bridport, Dorset. Lovely little fishing town with a couple of nearby campsites, and some freakin' awesome street and natural riding. Theres also a couple of nice little bars and shops in the town and if you want a night out Bridport is only a £5 taxi drive away. Also, Portland Bill, arguably the best natural spot in the UK, is about 20miles away (and considering you're coming from Kent, you could stop there either on the way or the way back).Dartmoor and Plymouth are also nice aswell Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Gardner Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Does any one live or have ridden Plymouth ,weymouth, bournemouth, Newquay or penance?I know Newquay is a nice place but as far as i can remember there is sweet fa there.Bournemouth isn't really a place to go for a holiday, it's a shit hole, and there's no riding anyway. Weymouth has rocks and nice street. Portland is one of the best natural riding spots in the UK, and is about 5 miles away from Weymouth. But you really need to have a car in order to get there as there's no station near it (nearest station's Weymouth), and it's a hell of a long ride!Bournemouth has the nightlife, Weymouth isn't that great in that respect, but has better riding.
