thespikeyone Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hello there folks, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for me, I live in gainsborough and work in lincoln, my current job is quite slack and therefore gives me plenty of spare time normally finish around 3:30 and 1:00 on fridays, with all this time on my hands all I want to do is go ride my bike somewhere, there is one place which is about an hour and a half-two hours away and costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 It's the luck of the draw I'm afraid. We've got a farm near us who welcomes trials riders 365 days a year for just Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamd Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) Im lucky also as we have an old railway and woods near us and we a have made a lot of good trails and hills. no one minds us pottering about on the bikes. Will probably come to an end one day when someone puts there foot down- i would like to approach the railways for permission but if they said no - it might mean a clampdown. At the moment the police dont bother us cos they know we are doing no harm, and the location of this place means there is hardly anyone there with dogs etc and there are no residents nearby. Years ago we had permission from a landowner to use his wasteland -but then he started using it for his scrapyard business so that was that. If i remember right it was the local counciller who arranged this for us. could be a start but you would need to identify somewhere and try to get support from other riders.

thespikeyone Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 the thing is I have only been riding here for about six months and don't know how to approach or identify anywhere to ride... I have asked a few people at the three cllubs I ride and they all say there is no where.... surely there has to be somewhere and someone who will let me use their land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motojojo Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Williamd, I wouldn't ask the railway because they would have to say no, but as long as you ride between the rails your good, its when you ride on the gravel next to the track it they get upset, unless they don't use this track anymore.

coxy Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 there is no where mate around your area as i live in s****horpe and there aint nothing legally that is apart from wilsons farm near barton(humber bridge). theres a bit illegally but its not great to be honest and probably isnt worth the risk. the nearest place to you would probably be matlock or aound that area as theres alot of areas to ride but its just the travelling am afraid. p.s if you find anywhere please let me know.
