Hey man, im in thornaby, message me if you want a ride, or anyone, i ride trails mainly, looking for faster riders than myself to speed me up for upcoming enduro races.
I'm pretty local. Been riding a few years, race enduro etc. There are a few cheeky bits around town that you can link together into a 30k loop but it's nothing too technical. Hamsterley (obviously) and Dales bike centre are good options for this time of year as they handle the weather. Best technical riding is over at guisborough in my opinion.. Have fun
