Yes I am, and I'd reccomend it. Even if you take no part in the club meets, rideouts, its worth it for the backing of the fellowship should you have legal issues - they will represent you.

EDIT: By legal issues I refer to problems encountered from green lane activities, assuming you are in the right of course

He might have got it shoved up his ar$e if we had realised at the time he'd done it. Specialone thought he'd dropped it and took avoiding action. Only on the bike cam afterwards we saw it was thrown. The video is in the Madlaners thread in the Madlanders section.

I'm not in the TRF and never been to a meeting or ridden with them, I couldn't make a recommendation or otherwise.

thanks for that, i'll give it a look then. As long as theres local(ish) rides near me i'd be up for that

Sorry for being a noob to all this but could someone help me. Ive looked on trailwise and found this



Wholesome lane which looks ok to go down although not a solid line the whole way

If you look on google streetview here and drop the man on the corner of wholesome and long meanygate and zoom in on wholesome theres a sign saying private road locked gate 500yds
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&...229.34,,2,2.52

Confused is it not a through road the whole way?

Double click on the two tracks for more details. if they have different reference numbers, individual start and end co-ordinates, then assume it is a broken track. Can you find the definitive map for the area?

Do you adhere to the TRF's 16MPH speed limit too then...?

Definitive map is available to anybody. Check with your council to see where it is kept.
