All good things come to an end, and it’s sometimes hard to find the motivation to get back to normal life, normal riding spots, etc.
I knew that if I was to get my motivation back, there was one place I needed to go, and it didn’t disappoint.
Embrace the rain, the mud, the sliding around because we sometimes don’t realise how lucky we are in this country, having so many amazing riding spots.

Those post holiday blues are always a bit of bummer, but you've got some great trails to ride near home and if you're prepared to brave the weather, you can get out all year long👍. Hopefully, you'll have the Alpine ready for Dyfi in December.
It's definitely a lot colder in uk eh bruva . Iv only been out twice in months . Great video Jason mate. Oh n I haven't got any mates no more 😂😂😂😂😂
Great video mate, it’s hard enough to get out without post holiday blues atm, I could have got out at the weekend but just couldn’t be bothered, no idea why, it’s not like we’re not used to the rubbish British weather 🤷♂️😎
Swindon looking beautiful in autumn.
Love those tracks….only done once but really want to go back
Nice video Mr stopadoodledoo sir 😂👊🏻.
Definitely harder to get motivated to ride in the winter in the UK. Like you say once you've thrown your leg over the bike it's ace. Surprisingly I'm really getting into night riding, gives a totally different riding experience on familiar trails, although getting usable footage is a challenge. I've switched from chest mount to chin mount and this has improved the stabilisation in low light…. You know what they say….. Winter miles equals summer smiles.
I’m not long back from riding in Bulgaria, and I’ve soon got back into the swing of things although I do miss a good uplift and dreamy long trails😢oh well! On a side note is the P7 a 29er?
this place looks fantastic, you will have to take me sometime, maybe a shakedown ride before Spain. can't bloody wait
My
Orange crush would like this
Such a great place on your doorstep! I do miss those dry trails though!
It really was about the whole experience wasn't it, never imagined it could be so stunning! One place where you spent money and felt you got more back than you should have each time! Been hard getting out, but so glad when I have. We are lucky in the UK with trails, and riding, just need some longer descents 🤣
I had post holiday blues and that was after two days in Wales. I didn't ride for nearly 4 weeks. Definitely felt the dreaded winter smog the n my head. Cleared it with a ride. Pushing yourself back out is the best medicine 👍
I've not even been away, but not being able to ride when I've really wanted to this past 3 months have been tough. Thankfully, I can get out now. May have to try this place 😊
