If you are thinking of joining us you can follow our LIVE TRACKING most Sunday's to get an idea of the slower paced back markers - just click on the ENDEMONDO logo on the icon bar above.
Based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, we are a growing mixed group of lunatics (not a cycle club) who enjoy getting muddy,wet & tired (well some of us anyway!) and occasionally stopping for a pint of the local ale at the Amble Inn. There are varying levels of speed and fitness from the athletes and snowboarders to the the slower and less fit (that's me- Rich )
You can join in on our Sunday morning riding madness through the wilds of Hertfordshire - All you need is a helmet and bike, oh and also a sense of humour (this line has been pinched by other bike groups with websites!) - read about newbies ride below
If you have any questions about us you may find the answers on the new to OTT page
We are affiliate members of the CTC, however we currently have NO individual riders insurance cover, don't let that stop you from enjoying yourself. We do ask you to read about us and complete the on-line form before coming along -see below
If you are new to mountainbiking, not tried 25 miles plus, or it's your first time off-road we suggest that you come along to a NEWBIES ride which we normally have each month. Please do let us know if you are coming along in case times/meet changes - you will get all the info when completing the rides form.
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR RIDES FORM BEFORE COMING ALONG FOR THE FIRST TIME (CLICK HERE)
For the extreme riders, Midweek Nite Rides and the odd Saturday sees the Single Speeders hit the trails for some serious stuff (3hrs, if your legs and batteries can take it). Not ideal if you are new to MTB'ing (see above) .
We do ask riders to hit the sunday trails with us first before attempting the evening madness.
Sunday morning and the larger groups gather at 9.30 and returning to the pub for around 1-2pm. More details can be found about the meetings on our MESSAGE BOARD and details of where we went, including some amusing pictures on the BLOG.
We do sometimes venture further than the home counties and our treks to Africa, Italy, Spain, Germany (and Wales) can be seen on the media pages....not to be missed! If you ride regularly with OTT (OTT Rider) you will be invited to come along to some of the UK trail centre rides.
We are also lucky to have our own skilled mechanic: Ben (for those OTT riders who don't dabble in their own repairs) and this means our bikes are back on the road quicker after the inevitable technical failure. Look out for a brand change coming soon from Ben the Mechanic on our message board.
Route maps can be found on this site from Endemondo, Sportstracker, Garmin & Cyclemeter along with some video and photo's which can be viewed or downloaded for later. Most of the trails we follow are "Public Right of Way or Bridleways". If our maps appear (rarely) to venture onto walkways we are of course not riding (hmm) or this is simply a mistake on the gps.
