South West & Wales - Bristol/Cardiff/etc.
« on: March 25, 2008, 10:34:45 PM »
Yo. Complete and utter n00b here, never ridden flat before but ridden a few different styles of MTB, looking to get into flat. Was just wondering if there was anyone around this general area? I live in Newport at the moment but i'm moving back to Weston super Mare in 2 months. Anyone up for laughing at/helping out a complete and utter beginner?

i live and ride in Cardiff. there are a few of us in this area. we all hook up from time to time. there is an indoor spot too quite near Cardiff that can be ridden but is quite small.

you ride in newport? the only place i rode in newport was at the skate park. it was crowded though.

you travel about easily ?

Yo, didn't expect replies that quickly! Currently bikeless, waiting for the student loan to come through so I can blast it on a bike, so I haven't ridden yet, I've been looking around and so far haven't really thought of anywhere to go, skatepark on a weekday is usually dead but i dunno about anywhere else.

I don't drive but I don't mind the odd train here and there, however I've never ridden flat so wouldn't be too hot to ride with yet...

Hey,

Any Cardiff riders up for meeting up and riding? I'm in the process of moving from Swansea to Cardiff.

Well, I just moved to Swansea in Wales 3 weeks ago or so. I brought my bike with me and would very much ride with other flatlanders.

Though at the moment my ankle is badly sprained, so I can't ride for 2 weeks or so - I think. I could visit Cardiff some weekend by train. I don't even have classes on Mondays, so I could stay late on Sunday too. So if the weather is still good in 2 weeks or so, I could hop on a train.

Any idea what's the cheapest way to travel between Swansea and Cardiff? Birts?

Ok, I'm off to see a doc about the ankle now-->

I still haven't found anywhere decent to ride in Cardiff. I'm going to go for a little mission around the underground car parks, hopefully one of them will be rideable.

Henrik, the train from Swansea to Cardiff is about 6 pounds for a return ticket. How's the ankle doing?

Hey! The doc found out I had actually torn a ligament and chipped a tiny part of my bone in the process. So, 2 weeks was nowhere enough to heal it. Now about a month later I can ride if I'm careful and take enough breaks.

Have you found any places to ride in Cardiff? If the tickets really are 6 pounds for a return, I could easily come for a visit. The weather sucks ass and living on Mount Pleasant doesn't help finding a level place to ride on. Haven't seen any indoor places either...
