Hi

Easiest way is to join an easy ride or happyride.

There is one today at 1815 in Änggården.

Ha i was checking up the wednesday ride and before i was done there were 2 answeres already. Wow.........

Spiketreeman: This "easy rides" are not really easy, just slow and they wait for everyone. The trails around Gothenbourg is really technical rides. I started last summer and it took about 6 month to learn how to ride. But dont give up, it is really rewarding once you get hang of it :)

Im moving down to Gothenburg soon (1 June) and some people to ride with would be sweet!

 

[Rattnalle]

Gothenburg is the city with the most Easy and Happyrides announced here on the forums hands down so you shouldn't have any trouble finding company.

All the rides in Delsjön/Skatås, Änggårdsbergen/Botaniska, Sisjön/Oxsjön, Sandsjöbacka, Hisingsparken and Vättlefjäll are in the Gothenburg area.

 

[spiketreeman]

Sounds real good! If any body knows of any rides at the weekend or tonight that would be sweet!
