Where abouts do you go riding in Bracknell? The look-out and around that area?
Yup - park at the look-out car park (over the other side of the road from the swimming pool place).

what kind of bike is recommended for mainly road use, but very steep uphills and downs, as thats all there is round here maybe the odd bit of offroad. Also cant get hold of konas too easly i dont think

Specialized will do something. Check out their website. I'm sure they'll trade in Thailand too.

Theres some good trails over there. Ive been out of riding for a couple of years due to lazyness but me and are mate are starting again. We will probably end up there as we could ride to it from ours in about half hour. Or just be lazy again and put the bikes in the back of a van

Looks like a Chicksands meet is in order, or a Bracknell one as it has riding for everyone imo.
