-G- Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hi, I will back to the UK for this summer, when i have holidays at work, i think in August. I will be a few days, about 6 or 7 days, i want to stay in Leeds and then go to Sheffield and other citys by train. This is my first plan but.. Just i want to know your opinion about what would be the best city to ride and maybe change my plans. Bristol looks good and the people always said me good words about that, but all the stuff ive seen in the videos looks too big for me, are there stuff for my riding level? London would be definetely the best option for any tourist, but to ride? Ive seen an Airport in Birmingham, is that a good city? If finally i do the first plan(leeds and sheff), what citys near of those do you recommend me? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Lots of stuff in bristol for the less experienced, you'll be fine. Wherever you end up, hook up with some locals to show you around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'd recommend to go Hull if your here again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Manchesters alright if you know where to look, train to blackpool would be doable as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalopS Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Another vote for Bristol! Edit: Just read your full post......... I don't know if its just because Iv'e ridden Leeds a lot but Bristol seems to have a lot more stuff to ride. Leeds does have loads of random spots that people never go to on the big group rides but I'd probably have to come show you around and your not into that. Ive never thought sheffield was that great. If you end up sticking around here though Bradford is worth visiting and Shipley Glen also if your into natty (Its pretty streety natty though). Hull too.

Mark W Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 In terms of just visiting and not having much time I guess Bristol's a good shout, but no city beats London for riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Not a city but why not visit barrow farm while your in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andeee Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Just a bit of advice. If your visiting over here maybe a learn bits of the english language (Basics) and make your self sociable theres loads of us on this forum and in different areas that would be more than happy to show you around and meet you for a ride. Come on don't be shy! If i was to go to a country with a big trials population where i was staying n had riders offering to meet them for a ride/tour id be really grateful for it and be proper up for it. When Tomala n Robert came over from Poland they only knew little bits/basics of english which was a good effort had some good rides with them Kornel was like the translator for them at times. Take it into consideration you need to make your trip worth while. Andy Edited July 9, 2012 by Andeee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some people not have social skills now'a days? How the hell you can go to a complete different country on your own and ride on your own is beyond me.... GOD HELP US.!

CalopS Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Not a city but why not visit barrow farm while your in the UK? I feel that when you go to another country where everything is new going to a Trials park is a waste of a trip. Especially when there are many trials parks near him in his home country. The best thing about trials is finding and riding unique places and been imaginative with whats there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackMeek Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 In terms of just visiting and not having much time I guess Bristol's a good shout, but no city beats London for riding. London is so undiscovered. I have listed so many pin drops it would take months to ride them all and i bet there is hundreds more. I Agree with Mark with the london comment. You would be spoilt for choice on riding locations even if you got lost. Not a city but why not visit barrow farm while your in the UK? It is pretty good G. It would make a change from seeing you on Espana soil. Come on G do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.b Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hull is pretty good around the marina/the deep area, plus you can get intouch with the locals pretty easily because they have a group on facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-G- Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the comments, i will decide where to go when i know my holidays dates at work Manchesters alright if you know where to look, train to blackpool would be doable as well I heard that manchester is an ugly city Another vote for Bristol!
