The longest route in this collection heads out West through 2 of the best forests in the area before looping back around and up on to the Ashdown Forest.

This 43km loop of Lac d’Aydat was the first ride I did in the region and was planned as an easy introduction to the area. Me and my riding partner quickly found out that riding in this area wasn’t quite as easy as it looks on the map! The off road tracks reminded me a lot of the U.K. and were really…

The quiet lanes of Horne and Outwood have seen many a local Road Race and Time Trail over the years and its a familiar place for many local riders.

This 55km loop should take you just over 3 hours, in summer this route includes some really nice flowing tracks, come winter they are just as fun but probably good to fit some mudguards!
