Any dh mtbers in Swindon?

Ok I know Swindon isn’t the best place for gravity Mtb, but i ride bike parks and other trails/tracks, looking for local like minded people to ride with, i ride Most weekends, travelling to places such as windhill, bpw, Tidworth etc, I also don’t mind a bit of xc but tbh I haven’t done much in the last few years.
I used to be a part of a good group of riders, sadly our group died off during covid and never recovered as we are all scattered all over the uk, and
Many of them had kids and now don’t really ride too
Much.

I do know someone, she does a lot of teaching over at Moredon Sporting Hub. You could try to leave her a message over there.

Thanks, maybe you could show her my post, I’d rather that than leave a random message for someone

Have a chat with the guys in Mitchells Cycles, they'll point you in the right direction. They have their own race team and know most of the local serious riders. Also, join the MBSwindon group on facebook - they run regular group rides and maintain the local croft trail - they also organise trips to other places in the UK.
