Introduction - how this blog works

The idea of this blog is to share some of my favourite bits of mountain biking with the world. Principally so that you too can enjoy the bits I've enjoyed. And avoid the bits I've hated. So many people have given us advice on biking since we started - what bikes to buy, where to ride, how to ride. So this is my chance to feed a bit back to that body of knowledge.

I'd really welcome your comments - what have I raved about that you thought was awful? What gems did I miss when I visited your local riding spot? Is a bit that I said was awful actually sweet singletrack in the summer or when you're riding well? Comments will help this resource be improved for all readers, and also give me some hints as to where to ride next!

I've written a load about what we've ridden over the last year, and grouped it geographically. My plan is to add to it in the future, hopefully using the tags to keep each region together, though I haven't quite worked out how it will work yet. I may just need to start all over again in a year to keep things organised more sensibly - I'm not really sure a blog is the most sensible format - but it seems the best for me as I'm not terribly motivated to learn any more code than the day job necessitates.

Herts Shore

This post is not as helpful as it could be, since Herts Shore is in a secret location in Hertfordshire. But you can find out where by booking a course with Tony Doyle, a mountain bike coach. And I would certainly recommend this. He teaches biking in a way like no other, but he got me jumping which no one else has so far achieved. He is assisted by his purpose built coaching venue featuring jumps of increasing size with endless easy run ins/outs and a nice little skills track. There is also a lot of ridiculous north shore...... He blogs about every session,and has invited us to come to Herts Shore any Sunday we fancy, which given it's our closest riding venue is pretty handy. We'll be back for more coaching in the spring.
