Hi.
Any real cyclist out there? Road, CX or preferably MTB? I frequent the north doing natural rides and trail centres. I just generally love outdoors activities. Is there any groups or mountain bikers on here?

BPW is really good for a UK bike park. Do Dalby & Llandegla quite a bit. Never done stiniog, is it worth it? Brenin was good but too far for what it was. |

These days I only commute (15 miles a day) but I previously raced tt, track, cyclocross for many yrats along with occasional MTB road and circuit races.
I have no idea what a 'real' cyclist is and whether I am one. it's a term I hate and thinks screams elitism |

Stiniog is brilliant, you need full face helmet, knee and elbow pads if you want to do th black runs though. Some really technical features. Good day out fo the £30 uplift service. |

Haha, poor choice of words. My apologies. Meant real cyclists as in who actually ride rather thanbuy a bike and throw it in the garage. |

Fair enough. There is a forum I know of where anyone who doesn't race and isn't in a club is dismissed as not being a "real" cyclist, it's a real pet hate.

Thats why left Bikeradar years ago. I was pretty much given grief for asking questions. Alot of Mtb'ers I know are also like it. In the states bikes are seen as a simple piece of sports equipment, no snobbery or elitism! How it should be. |
