A local ride, leaving Barbury Castle Car Park (the end nearest the entrance gate) at 2:30pm. The ride will be approx. 25km and should take between 2-3 hours to complete at a relaxed pace where no one gets left behind. You’ll need to be responsible for your own food, drink, spares and tools. We are [...]

A evening/night ride at Croft Trails. Hopefully the weather won’t change and we’ll get the chance for 2/3 laps of the trail in dry conditions. All welcome of any ability level – no one gets left behind on our group rides. This is a great chance to be given a guided tour of the trails [...]

We spent a few hours on the evening Tuesday 26th May with photographer Leigh Gregory. He captured some really good action shots on the new section and also the berms up near the pond.

The guys who took the action shots on Piper’s hill (Leighgregory.co.uk) a few weeks ago are going to be at the trail doing a ride and taking some more photos. A chance to get some decent photos of yourself riding. They’ll be there from 6pm to about 9pm. If they’re not in the car park [...]

Saturday It was possibly the hottest day of the year so far and we were all knackered from the night ride and pub session of the previous evening. Nevertheless we still had things to do. I started out by rounding up all the bits of wood, rocks and rubble that had accumulated in the new [...]

This is the same day as the Swinley Forest club ride. We’ll have the probation service on site to move chippings down to the new red section. We should have this section open by the end of the day. We’ll have to dig out the very first part of the new section and rake the [...]

The new red section will be one day away from opening by this time. The new jump over the ditch will need finishing and a few minor jobs to get ready for Sunday when the probation service will be on site to move the last of the chippings. We’ll meet down on the Red section. [...]

We had the biggest turnout yet, with 13 riders. Conditions were as good as it gets; totally dry. As usual we did three laps of the trail. We tried out the new jumps on the almost finished Red section. They work really well. The new berms near the pond work too, as does Pete’s climb. [...]
