You must have a helmet to ride at Tidworth, and pads are a good idea too.

Ride grading – Orange- Bike park

Entry cost – £7

We’ve been off on hols for a few weeks, so before things get back to normal, we’re going to make this one a bit of a bash!

We are going to be begin with a family ride, doing laps of the trail. So bring your kids (who remain your responsibility at all times) and we will be going round from 4.30 for about an hour.

After that we move on to the regular style session,  starting with a lap of the Blue trail to warm up, then sees what people want to do next.

And as it’s the end of summer, we’ll thrown on some snacks and drinks to celebrate too, so come and join us!

This a very relaxed ride, at an easy pace, with lots of opportunities to develop and practice skills. Everyone is welcome and this is a great introductory ride if you’re just starting or coming back to mountain biking.

You must bring a helmet, but you don’t need lights 😊
Also thoroughly recommend insect repellent!

Meet in the Croft car park at 4.30pm for the family laps, 5.30pm onwards for adults.

NOTE – we’ve now changed the date to 1 day earlier, Saturday 16th March, to avoid a race.
===============================

We’ve not been to FoD for ages, so we’re going to do another “FoD 4 All” event. 

Basing ourselves at Pedalabikeaway, we will have several ride leaders, offering different rides for all abilities – a great introduction if you’ve not been before. 

A lap of the legendary Verderers is bound to be on the agenda and we will take everyone through steadily, as a great opportunity if you’ve not done it before.

There will also be downhill trails and some of the techy super steep off piste tracks in the Cannop Valley too, should anyone want to try that. 

We will also have at least one coach on offer if anyone wants to session some features, such as roots, jumps or drops, or certain sections of trail (the top of Corkscrew has a great sequence of features in one short run for learning). 

Meet at outside the Pedalabikeaway café at 10.30am 

Debbie will be leading a gentle novice friendly ride around the Cotswold Lakes.

This is non technical and will be at the pace of the slowest rider. It is designed to suit ladies new to mountain biking and those who want a steady ride.

There will be a cafe stop 3/4 of the way round, but feel free to bring any snacks and water.

Helmets compulsory and this is not suitable for hybrid bikes, due to the possibility of mud on the tracks.

Meet in the car park to the Cricklade Leisure Centre for a 10am start.

This is a Ladies Only ride, led by Davinia.

We meet at Mouldon Hill in the car park and then follow route 45 South past Shaw Forest and pick up the West Swindon Round to Lydiard Park. We will stop at Lydiard for a drink and maybe a cake! Then back continuing on the West Swindon round and back up the old railway line to Mouldon Hill.

This is a very gentle ride, and is no more than 9 miles.
It is aimed at beginners and upwards and is for every ability.
It’s a chance to get back on the bike, have a chat and feel happy!

You will need a helmet, bike and yourself!

This ride is suitable for all mountain bikes or hybrid bikes with off road tyres.
