We had a fabulous time at the Forest of Dean on Sunday, with a great bunch of people and some great riding.
This weekend’s rides
It’s Fri-yaaayyyy!!!!!
Got lots of club activities for you:
- Saturday – Davinia is leading a Breeze ride (ladies only) from Mouldon Hill along route 45 old railway line to Cerney and back
- Sunday – we’re at the Forest of Dean with mixed and Ladies groups. We will be doing a bit of skills work as part of the Swinley preparations, using a bit of Freeminers and the skills areas, as well as at least one Verderers lap and some downhill runs too.
- Tuesday – we’re off to Bike Park Wales! This is a PAYG trip, so don’t worry about not having booked – we will be using the pay as you go uplift and maybe 1 pedal up if people are feeling like it.
Happy Trails 🚵♀️
Swinley, Best Bits extended
Our Swinley “Best Bits” ride is very popular, as it not only takes the best of Blue and Red regular trails, but some great bits off the regular trails (with some nice drops and roots) as well. But there’s loads more good stuff in the forest, off the (ginger) trail and so we’ve expanded it to include 3 more sections 🙂
SMTBE Episode 3 – Tidworth
We went to Tidworth the other weekend with Team Mitchell Cycles to get shown around and practice a bit for the Root1 race that’s coming at the end of April.
It’s about excellent bike park and although it’s downhill runs, they are nicely progressive, starting small and going right up to ludicrous! Good training facilities too – a skills and jumps area and progressive drops section as well.
So check it out – there’s a special guest too 😀
