A muddy days Mountains Biking
A classic winter bike ride
in and around Thieves Woodjust a stones through away from Sherwood Forest...Full of mud and more mud. Normally an hours ride was an hour and twenty minutes.
Thieves Woodis situated between Derby Road (A611) and Nottingham Road (A60) just out side of Mansfield in Notts. It's an excellent link for a number of routes mainly leading to Sherwood Pinesand Sherwood Forest. With hard compact tracks and sandy singletrack it's an excellent summer venue, but as you will see in the winter that can soon turn to mud.
Three rides this week that demonstrated amazing autumn at its fullest. The colours of the leaves, the covering of the trails and the animals out foraging on the trails. Autumn maybe my favourite season....

I woke this morning with the sun blazing through the blinds. Whilst there are plenty of down sides to losing your job during the corona virus pandemic, there are a couple of upsides. One is when you fancy a bike out you can just get up and go. This was a moment to take advantage.

One of my favourite woods to pass through on the bike is ‘Harlow Wood’. A link in many rides but a interesting venue on its own right. Check out my video as I pass through Harlow Wood....

I was looking back at some old photos and videos with fond memories. I can’t believe how time has flown by so quickly. 2018 was a great year for mountain biking for me....
