  • Looking back and moving forward

    Its been a while since we last had an update and round-up of whats been going on over here at Ride Sheffield and while it might seem a bit late, it felt like it would be a good time to reflect on the past year and look towards what we had planned for the coming year. (more…)

  • Please be nice in Greno Woods (or anywhere for that matter!)

    We got a bit of a troubling email sent over this morning from Sheffield Wildlife Trust with regards to Greno Woods.

    There have been a couple of structures built in the woods recently that they are not too happy with; as they are rather poorly built and have been put in without permission. While this is a bit of an issue; a bigger problem is that mountain biker this weekend got into a bit of a heated discussion with a local rambler who was dismantling one of the structures. So heated was the debate in the woods and later on; the walker felt threatened enough to contact the police with regards to the matter. (more…)

  • Winter Social and Quiz – Update

    Steve Peat joined around 100 Sheffield riders last night to discuss the latest developments to trails in and around the city.

  • Riding along on a trail made for two…

    Mountain bikers have a problem, an image problem. While we see ourselves as a bunch of fun-loving free spirits, much of the rest of the outdoor community see us as gung-ho idiots who aren’t happy unless we’re mowing down senior citizens. Now, some of you might not give a monkey’s about having an image problem, but it’s fair to say that coming across as Attila the Hun on two wheels means that in the future we’ll have less trails to ride, not more. Confused? I’ll explain.
