Greenlane..

I did it, went and tried out a green lane on Sunday with a friend… It was a fantastic day, with some nice roads around Surrey and a green lane…

First couple of minutes gives an idea of what it was like on road tyres… Was really fun! I love my bike now :slight_smile:

Well done mate!

Nice one… If you feel more adventurous try the lanes in Kent. You’ll need permission from the council but that’s easily obtainable. They are more challenging so I wouldn’t advise doing them on road tyres. Though a few of us have done them and they were fun, probably best to stick your offroad tyres on :smiley:

I live about 10mins from the lanes in Surrey so am frequently there :slight_smile:

Makes me want to get a little off roader and get out there. Nice one Alex.

Hopefully next time you’ll breath a bit easier now you know what to expect :slight_smile:

only after you drop it once and realise damage is minimal will you go full throttle…

unless you do it like nivag of course :pinch:

Thanks all, yeah - I’m keeping my eyes open for a set of wheels and off road tyres that’ll fit. Will look into getting a Kent permit.

Not too worried about dropping it, but I need to get some proper biking boots and maybe some other protective gear as I was just in regular boots.

Where abouts was that, as me and the better half fancy going?

Cool vid :slight_smile:

Hi, it’s just of Ranmoore Road, marked on this map, it follows the tree line…

There is a bunch of them around there. If you pick up an OS map it’s easy to find the green lanes, there’s quite a few around.
