Forest of Dean Mini-meet

[Doomanic]

Short notice, I know, but is anyone interested in a mini-meet at FoD this Saturday?

I’m happy to give non-locals a little tour of some of the stuff the Forest has to offer away from the trail centre.

Too far out for me ..but if I had lived closer ...would have definitely taken you up on this ..
Now that restrictions are being relaxed further hopefully there will be more activity like this around the country ..

Strangley about 15 of my riding buddies and me are heading up for a Saturday ride. I've booked the uplift, so was planning on blowing the cobwebs off the MTB and leaving the eeb at home for once. Still there has been talk of off piste already, so maybe we might bump into you later in the day. Will be my first time at FOD, have done Cwmcarn before

The wife is working Saturday so I'll be there fairly early and finished early too but it's unlikely I'll be anywhere near the cycle centre.

Some of us are heading up Friday night with the aim to get a early start. Being I'm a newb there will prob stay on the main stuff to start with, get a feel etc.

But yeah, it is what it is, If I happen to see a Rail rider I'll say hi

Great,
Meet at the Pedal a bike away Cafe?
What time do you want to start?

 

[Doomanic]

If it's off-piste you want, Mallards Pike Lake is a better starting point.

10:30 is a good time for me.
