  • Surrey Air Ambulance

    After a recent tragic local event, I think it's worth mentioning that although our fabulous Paramedics & Ambulance driver's are publicly funded, the Air Ambulance isn't. For as little as £2 per month (options available) we could make a difference to something which may one day save our or our loved ones lives.https://www.kssairambulance.org.uk/give/reds

    The trails were in primo condition for both the Saturday jump ride & the Sunday ride. Here's a nice little video of the guys riding a newly discovered trail called 'Uncle Albert'. The beauty of riding in the Surrey Hills is that you never get bored, always fresh, always fun!

  • Nirvana rides Enduro

    Some of the guys were up in Yorkshire the the Ard rock Enduro. The feedback from Tony B, our resident rider, mechanic & guru, is that it's the best event he's ridden! Epic climbs combined with epic downhills. Some of the hardest riding he's encountered. Well done to Tony, Jon, Ryan & Ian. Here's a little write on on what enduro racing is about by Tony Berlin:

  • Nirvana Visits Bikepark Wales

    Last Friday we headed off to Bikepark Wales. The 5.30am start was a bit of a shock, but it was well worth it. The weather was superb with plenty of sun & no wind & the trails were dry. Managed to fit in 9 runs & lunch at the excellent cafe. The whole set up is very professional with very little waiting time between up lifts. Dan has put together a little video of some of the action & he's the rider in the photo.

  • Styling on Reformation, Sunday ride

    The weather was great & the trails in perfect condition so there was a good turn out for the Sunday ride. We took in Ranmore first & enjoyed styling up some of the jumps on Reformation & Neil managed to do a 14ft gap jump which had defeated him previously, so well done there. Headed over to Drum & Bass where the jumps have been altered with the take off ramps much steeper, great for a hardtail but quite tricky on a full sus. Lunch was at the teashop in Shere, who do a sandwich & …

  • Nirvana's 20th Anniversary Ride

    So 20 years ago to the day, we opened our doors with eager expectations & our Sunday ride began. Who would have thought all this time later we would still be leading a ride out on a Sunday. The rain had abated from the dreary drizzle from the day before & the sun made an appearance every now & then. It was inevitable that we would get muddy but with Simon leading the ride & drawing on 20 years of experience, this was kept to a minimum with a well chosen route. It did have a bit …
