ride out in the FOD

Post by Taff »

looking at a saturday or sunday mid july, weekend of the 11th or 18th.

we can tailor the day to whatever the majority want but likely to get out of the centre and onto the unofficial trails.
The unofficial trails around here tend have smallish jumps and drops, a fair bit of it can be steep and rollable.

everyone welcome, any standard,I'm not a 'good' rider but can guide you to the top and let you wait for me to get to the bottom :mrgreen:

I'd love to come, but it's a bit too far, I'm at Cadwell the first weekend anyway. But good luck with it, hopefully you'll get people turn up and have a good time.

right then boys and girls if you're up for it, Saturday 1st August. (

meeting point will be in Parkend, just down the road from the Fountain Inn and riding will be on 'Dowies' and 'Shutcastle' trails. (search Youtube for a flavour)

I've picked this area because the trails are fun and very confidence inspiring, almost everything is rollable if you don't want to jump / drop, nothing is mega steep but you can expect to be doing a fair bit of climbing.

we won't be going to Pedalabikeaway trail centre (unless anyone really really wants to) so it's best to plan to be self sufficient for the day, and I can ask the landlord of the Fountain Inn what they are currently doing in the way of food.

If anyone wants to then go on to do some more technical trails we can head over to 'Mallards Pike' afterwards, this is generally steeper and more technical, not everything is rollable (most is) but still very rideable, expect a load of climbing.

who's in?
