  1. I don't believe you are an actual troll, if you are it's a new style to me.
    Anyway, enough of that.

    Right to the point then, if you are a professional, then you should act
    professional. True, your cause is just, but unfortunately you can't push
    your beliefs on anyone. There are always two sides to any argument any
    you'll always come across a lot of opposition from other people about the
    topic and posting here, (from your point of view,) may seem a good idea to
    you, but to others it's an annoyance.

    My home town Swindon in England is one of the fastest growing towns in
    England. May not sound much, but there is a big argument going at the
    moment about the fact that Swindon is growing too fast and a lot of
    beautiful countryside is being destroyed, (part of a local park will be
    destroyed too.)

    Point being is this, the population is growing, and it's choking the planet.
    Personally I think you should be looking into building developments that
    take up new land. OR think about all the people dying on this planet for no
    good reason by power hungry leaders.

    It all pales into comparison when you look at the planets real problems.

    Please think long and hard before you reply to this post Mike.

    Thanks for your co-operation,

    Daz.

    Most people kill file MV's address, so that we don't have to see his posts.
    People replying to his posts or even starting new threads about him (!!) in
    the group is therefore much more annoying than the posts by Mr V himself. I
    believe he has an email address, maybe use it and take your points outside,
    so as to spare the rest of us. Sorry, but there has been some serious
    feeding lately...

    Thanks for your co-operation

    Good point, but that was my "going out" speech.

    I have no need to comment now.

    Aha, not a straight forward answer to that one i'm afraid....

    My family live in hertfordshire so i live there some of the time, but I am
    currently doing a masters at Loughborough uni until this time next year, so
    am here in leicestershire most of the time. My gf lives in yorkshire so i
    spent a fair amount of time there also. Car + bikerack = live saver. We are
    planning to settle down somewhere properly next summer so should have more
    perminant base then! Most of our riding takes place round the hills of
    leics, the Peak District, and the Yorks Pennines.

    Cheers

    I did. There are plenty of people trying to stop sprawl, but not enough people
    working on stopping mountain biking. Nice try, but mountain biking is
    inexcusable.

    This bit of Leicsestershire is actually quite good, quite a few places to
    ride if you know where to look, and not a flat as other parts of midlands.
    West Yorkshire is good too in parts, although there's not a huge network of
    stuff to do. Peak District if the stuff of legend. Best riding in England in
    my book, never run out of fun there. Not sure i would want to live in the
    south again, bridleways round farmers' fields don't do it for me so much

    Presumably, he'd also call Kerry "inexcusable".

    You ever been to Wiltshire? Pretty good rides around there, (good stretch
    of Ridgeway for starters.) I miss it loads. And the fact that if you ride
    10 miles, you could easily cycle through about 5 villages. 🙂

    Pagey.
