New to the lanes

[Aid]

Hi,

Just want to say hello as another new member to the trails...

Previously owned road bikes and had a couple of motocross bikes when much much younger living on a farm. Had a day with ‘Off the Kerb’ recently in Dorking and enjoyed every minute... Toyed for a long time with the purchase of a KTM e-ride... Thankfully they didn’t manage to get their act together with the latest offering so resorted to good old petrol... Stuck my neck out and purchased a 2019 350 KTM E-XCF Six Days and its an absolute stonker of a bike. Spent a bit of time on the lanes to date arround Dorking area but haven’t ventured far. Still building the required kit and riding on own. Looking forward to meeting a few people to hit the lanes with to learn the way. Any advise appreciated.

I’m a fully paid member to the TRF to help keep the lanes open.

Hopefully catch a few people soon and will come up the the local club meeting on the 28th at the BL club I believe!

Cheers

Well you didn't waste anytime joining up good on you, it won't take long to have the local lanes in your internal memory and Dorking is a great start point, a lot of runs start from Bocketts, Boxhill and Newlands. Hope you can get down for club night.
