Dear all,
My apologies for the English, my written Dutch is still under construction. However, feel free to reply to this in Dutch; I can read it fairly well.
After almost a year off my beloved bike, I am slowly getting back out there. I am looking for the flattest mtb trail ever. So far, I am thinking Waalre, but perhaps someone knows of something even flatter?
It has to be off-road, I just cannot ride my bike on any tarmac, it just kills me.
Many thanks in advance for any replies.
Minna

Goodness. I am going to fall off my bike from boredom.hendrikjan schreef:a mix'n match between road and offroad can be found here, https://www.fiets.nl/forum/viewtopic.ph ... e#p1289862" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it will not get any flatter then/than/ this
Just happy I can ride again, so thanks for the tip. For next year, perhaps I can finally go back to downhilling. Fingers crossed!

If you want flat, you've gotta go north!

I think I can speak for most of us: why do you want to ride flat?????
My body cannot take more right now. Hope to be fully recuperated from adhesive capsulitis (https://www.shoulderdoc.co.uk/section/16) by next year's summer, when I will go back to downhilling.
For now, I am happy that I can finally reach the handlebars with my right arm! Cannot take any bumpy roads just yet. This is why I am looking for flat stuff ... only not tarmac ...
