Join Us at the Forest of Dean - EMTB Forums Group Ride, Sunday 3rd March

[Tunny]

Advanced group - All off piste stuff similar to link below, so steep and rocky in places. Will do a suitable qualifier first to see the ability of the group / adapt the route accordingly if needed.

Sample Off Piste

After watching this I'm thinking i might be joining the toddlers group.

I've no doubt I'm skilled enough and confident enough to ride those trails but i feel I'd rather do something a bit more chilled and less techy.

What sort of route/area is planned for the toddlers?

Ref the advance ride I’m more than happy to adapt accordingly. Its all about having fun and getting home safely . So happy to discuss on the day and adapt it as you wish ??

 

[Dax]

Lots of good trails on that video. Took you guys down a couple of those last time, but there's a lot of fun stuff there I don't recognise ?

Route looks decent but think the weather may aslo make sense to dial it back a bit

 

[Steve W]

Yeah there’s some nice chilled stuff around the cycle centre but you won’t be disappointed to hook up with fodmtb even if he misses out some of the tech bits.

Both ... but more relevant is I’m fed up of a multi-hour effort to deep clean and dry my bike, shoes, gear and car after a soaking wet ride ?
