Robin Steward moved from Swindon to Taunton last year so he’s had a good chance to explore the trails in the Quantocks. We did a club ride there two years ago to the day: photos.
Start at Holford Car Park, 10.30 prompt.
- Part One. 90min XC to Triscombe
- Part Two. Lunch and general hooning about. A couple of hours exploring the many ‘downhill’ tracks near to Triscombe Car Park or just kick back and enjoy the rest!
- Part Three. 2pm ish. Return to Holford via some classic singletrack and Combes
There will not be any shops etc. during the ride so bring a day’s worth of food, water and spares. There is a pub at the end.
The climbs are long but steady – no worse than Welsh trail centres, but not a ride for novices.Skills wise, its all on the fun side of technical. Don’t let the ‘downhill’ tag put you off – it’s all rollable.
