Blommah Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Well, 2 minutes to my trialscourse (Lots of pallets and rocks).5 minutes to a couple of schools with loads of rocks and benches and stuff.45 minutes by car to a kickass indoor trialscourse.50 minutes by car to a huge outdoor actionpark wich will be opened in 2008 (I think theyll get a fancy streetsection aswell)15 minutes to any of the dirt tracks whenever i feel like riding it. (Dirt is a sin, i know)two minutes to an underground-always-warm parking lot where i ride flatland in the winter.And i live just where the town meets the forest, small mountains and huge rocks everywhere. As well as streetstuff if youre up for that.And then i got a lake wich i ride minimoto to in the summers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 0 minutes - Outside my house I've got a nice long wall, some curves in it, some bits are higher and lower than others. I'll use it when the weather gets better and when I get better at biking.0 minutes - kerbs and shizz15 minutes - Town, gets a bit boring riding it over and over again, but we always find something new or improve at what we do there.40 minutes - From my door to Chelmsford, great place to ride.
