 Due to haveing a hetic lift style and a one year old lad my riding is really being cut down, so really the only time i have left is in the evening after 8.30 and the boy is asleep. anyone doing any night rides around then i could come along to, so kicking off about 9PM. its scary riding on your own.

 Where abouts in Oxfordshire are you?? Know the feeling though. When the kids are a sleep is the only time for me as well.

 Same here, I am hoping to get some night rides in on the Ridgeway etc, Where abouts ?
|
|
 I might be up for the odd night ride as well, depends where in the county though

 There used to be a huge group of riders that went out in Woodstock, used to meet up with them at the Blenheim Cafe. Worth heading down there on a Sunday if you can and see if they still hang around there.
If you want a pretty self contained night ride Stonesfield is good. Some nice technical singletrack (just watch out for the big drops).

you mean in the old quarry. yes thats fun in the dark! did you ever find the steps in the old quarry at long hanborough, left over from the world final of some horse riding event years ago
|

Yes been out that way a few times. Im based in Carterton and usually ride out most Thursday nights with a few guys from Witney. Usually head out that way. If you fancy joining up then give us a shout. Also looking at doing a few rides out around Burford (i added a previous thread in this forum). But as you said at the start with young kids cant really get out untill 8-9 pm. Wheres this old quarry at hangborough?? Sounds good.

Do you mean the old quarry near the Blenheim estate Serge? Rode in their a couple of times but got chased off by the water company people (mean buggers they were). There's a few miles of *ahem* unofficial singletrack through the Blenheim woods (if you can find it, their groundskeepers were armed, we were very careful) that was good fun in the dark. I might have to spend a week up that way when I come back to the UK and hook up with you all for some of these rides  Emo, are Giles still going in Carterton?

 Serge, there are a bunch of guys who meet up at the red lion in eynsham on a thursday for a night ride from spring 'till winter. The riding tends towards riding trails from pub to pub and ends late but they have a fun night out
