Pete wouldn't have this kind of dilemma if he would just take the time to school himself on how a Wrench works!

It's called a spanner over here Scott, which is kind of ironic as Pete is a bit of a spanner

Why don't you have a bash at setting up your own bike night, just need a friendly spot with parking and set up a face book group.   Build it and they will come.  

He won't because he doesn't like people.  He even broke Dell's leg when he went there just to get rid of him ................

We met this chap (Andy) on a trail in the Peaks while Sandro was fixing his puncture.  His XR650L was a bloody lovely bike 

What we need a is a poll 

Washed the bike, packing the camping equipment away .  Sat here having a coffee now as I feel f*cked

I like your thinking 

This is what you want Pete, you don't go far and there's hours of fun to be had on this .  Plus you'll probably get 150 mpg

Bing maps will let you use OS maps for you to have a look at whats in your area

Absolutely Fred, Bing maps are superb as an overview online.  A printed OS map will give you a wider overall view of the area but I hardly use them now when I'm actually riding.

Nice one Bob, I've never ridden a Triumph triple , perhaps I should go and have a test ride just for the hell of it.

Kove.

Don't be silly , can you really see Pete on a trail fixing a puncture

No rush squire 

So the two main types of trail in England and Wales are shown on OS maps, that doesn't mean definitvely that they are legal but it's a good guide.  They are know as 'Byways open to all traffic ' or BOAT or simply BYWAY  and the others are ORPA's or other route with public access, these are more commonly known as UCR's (Unclassified County Roads).

Byways are shown on OS maps as a series of red crosses and ORPAs as a series of red dots, you can see some on this OS map of part of the Peaks.

But that best way to find out where you can ride as @Buckster and @Sir Fallsalot have said is to join the TRF (Trail Riders Fellowship) .  That way you will get access to the Green Road Map which will give you lots of other information .

wheres the trails up, there... legal to ride or just ride where you want ?

There's no such thing as 'ride where you want'  as far as trails are concerned.

@busabeast

I think you dropped your flashing light and dildo , the one's you use to entice the DBM's into those abandoned buildings ..........................

I've been away for three days riding glorious trails in the Peak District , camping in a lovely little campsite and drinking various beers.

Just think , I could have stayed home and looked in on all this claptrap instead ................
