I'm in Milton Keynes, just moved here, hoping to get a CRM this weekend. If you want to go and find some lanes let me know, I've ridden all round Peterborough and Cambs so time to explore new areas - I'm pretty good with the map! Not sure what lanes are around Northants, there are none around MK! doh

Not sure how I'll get on with the CRM yet, had to sell my crf450 as couldn't afford it - its going to be a bit different! I had one a year ago but never took it off road!

You set your CRM up right (gearing, suspension etc) and i think you'l like it

Have fun out there

Hi! i work over in MK and ride in (when its not to cold..). Theres a lane over in Woburn Sands, not but i could find it though lol.

The lanes in northampton are really poor, i've manged to find a few but nout worth riding to (all under 1mile long and not very fun).

Drop us a PM when you sort a bike out!
