Debbie Davies will lead this club ride. It’s novice friendly but there will be some faster downward pointing stretches and a few long steeper climbs , but nothing that a nice walk can’t conquer, and as usual , no one will be left behind. While this is not a technical ride, you will need a proper mountain […]

Pot hole filling season is finally over! To celebrate we’re going to get stuck into a trail tune up including some experimental new things. Facebook event page. There’s been great progress at the trail over the last few years. See the build diary for details.

Over the last three years

With a heatwave on our hands it was an ideal chance to ride the route that Bigfoot MBC had wanted to show us on our previous excursion with them back in November 2012. At that time the year of wet had wrecked the trails. Conditions had still been heavy going in March when we’d ridden
