Having lived within easy driving distance from North Wales, moving to Shoreham was a worry – I was desperate to find some challenging single track, and trails worthy of regular riding.

I stumbled across Brighton MTB website a few times, and as I was still in need of a good local ride, and some new faces to ride with, I decided to give the informal meet a go.

I have not been disappointed so far; I’ve now ridden with the group on 3 consecutive weeks, each week being entirely different, bringing new challenges, and new faces.

It’s great to be discovering so many great trails at Stanmer park, they’re technical and varied, but no matter what your skill level, everyone involved is always prepared to help out with advice on your riding technique, and will always ride at a pace that suits everyone.

I will definitely be riding with these guys on a regular basis; informal, friendly, and no issues if you’re not up to speed. Definitely worth giving it a go if you’re not sure!
