Only one piece of advice, take a trip down to Phil’s in France. You’ll have the best time ever!

Hi and welcome....le lindois, is only about 25km from me, and about 10km from Nick, Dave is a bit further north, normally get out together once every 3 to 4 weeks.....great trails around where you are, as Phil says Dave will put you on mailing list if you so wish. All best Steve.

Hiya Mouseman

As Phil has said, there's a few of us meeting regularly for rides in Limousin, Lot, Perigord, Charente etc.

You're welcome to join in. Don't know what standard you're at but we are all at 'NOB LEVEL', which is one above 'SHITE' but not as good as 'CRAP'.

Send me a PM with your email address if you want adding to the list.

If that's the Le Lindois near Roussines then yes you're not far from me and Chunky ( Steve). I know the lanes over as far as Les Salles/Lavaguyon which is just down the road from you.
General rule in france is if it's got vaguely 2 wheel ruts/marks in it it's most likely legal though it's easy to 'accidently' wander off :roll: :lol:

Well worth pottering about finding your local chemins, takes a while to link them up let alone remember them next time but all good fun.
