The May MTB Wellness Ride is great scenic and fun route out past Barbury\, throug h the Vale of Rockley and back via the old railway line.
\nA similar
distance to the April ride\, the loop is 27km and 270m of climbing.
\nWe start at the Three Trees Cafe and ride out on the Ridgeway\, up the s
ide of Barbury Castle and continue along the Ridgeway to the top of Hackpe
n Hill.
\nWith the bulk of the climbing out of the way\, we will desc
end through the Vale of Rockley\, which has a great entry descent and norm
ally lots of Red Kites overhead in the sheltered valley. There’s an option
to pop up into the woods of Rockley for the small drops\, or just to take
5 and enjoy the scenery.
\nFrom Rockley we start the climb at the be
ginning of Four Mile Clump\, but quickly turn right for a long fireroad de
scent to Ogbourne Maizey\, before picking up the old railway line back to
the Three Trees for post ride cake!
As always the ride is based ar ound taking in the great views and having a good time.
\nThere is a free car park next to the Three Trees\, as well as the cafe car park.
\nWe will ride out from the Three Trees car park at 10.30am
\nI w ill be there before that if you’ve got any questions about your bike\, rid ing or the ride – I am a MIAS Level 3 leader and coach and cytech technici an too.

going to an Exmoor weekend last year\, but given everything that’s still
going on\, we’re going to do a big day out instead.
\nThis is a great
route showcasing some of the great riding in the Porlock and Minehead are
a – spectacular views\, epic descents and a beach 🙂
\nWe start at Por
lock and head out up towards Selworth Beacon for our first view of the sea
\, before dropping down and then up to the top of Wootton Common\, where t
he Southern Enduro champs have been held for several years. After a choice
of technical or loose descents\, we will have a rest at the bottom in Woo
tton Courtenay.
\nFrom there we’re off to the fun steep tracks of Hor
ner Woods\, before returning to the top to descent the last fun hill back
into Porlock.
This isn’t the longest ride (26km)\, but there is ov er 800m of climbing and the terrain is generally loose rock. All the hills are steep – up and down – but pushing up hill is welcome (and occasionall y necessary). On the descents most of the tracks are covered in loose rock s and some are fairly steep. It’s a reasonably technical ride with steep c limbs. We’ll be taking a leisurely pace\, but it’s a tough ride.
\nM eet in the Doverhay car park\, opposite the Spar on the High Street in Por lock for a 10.30am start.
