Where can I go biking?

Does anyone in the Newcastle/Northumbria know anywhere cool to go mountain biking, I just got my
bike up here and am stuck riding street which i don't like too much. I want my old dirt doubles
back!!! any ideas? ta, Jim

 

Sorry Jim, I am pretty stuck too. Just moved to nottingham and am not within cycling distance of
anything decent (by way of jumps and drops). But I have found myself chugging along canal towpaths
and x-country routes. Damn my 3" tyres.

Doubles you say? You'll be wanting the Ape skatepark, complete with indoor trails at
Stockton-on-Tees, and Great Ayton, just south of Middlesbrough - but expect the biggest trails
you've seen, and possibly some grief from the bmxers (especially if you don't repair the lips).
Alternatively, you could just build your own.

Im sure there's some great trail footpaths in your area, just ride them for now.

Oh no, I did it again. My subconice got the better of me. Don't do it, don't.
