Sherwood Forest

It's totally amazing how you feel as you dash through the trees in a forest. You don't have to bomb down a hill at break neck speeds to get a buzz out of cycling, just peddling fast through the tree lined alleys of Sherwood Forest was a morning to remember.

Arrived early on Saturday, to find what I thought to be a free Nottingham council owned site, was actually a forestry commission, pay for privilege. Having not taking any money with me, I had to hard tail it out of there sharpish, and find a suitable alternative start point.

They have worked hard on transforming the tracks at Sherwood, and when completed will be a bigger adventure to ride in...

I find it hard cycling on my own, almost boring, which detracts from the thrill of actually being there, almost like to want to share your experience with someone else...

I was there to do a GPS recce of the area for a big event we are holding in 2010, only managed 6 miles, in the two hours I spent there, which make up about 15% or more... got plenty of time to do the rest... more fun coming!!!
