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. :)

Goodness. I am going to fall off my bike from boredom. :P
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!

But maybe you can introduce yourself?

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 ...

Wait with the vertical until your shoulder is healed completely!
