Looking for your next step into downhill mountain biking?

Join Gareth as he rolls down Countdown – a fun, flowy blue trail at the top of the hill! 🌲

Designed to be accessible for adaptive bikes and perfect for riders building confidence, Countdown is a fantastic introduction to gravity riding. If you've already conquered Old Bob and are wondering what to try next, this trail should be at the top of your list! 🙌

With gentle gradients, flowing turns, and plenty of opportunities to stay in control, it's no surprise Countdown is a favourite with riders young and young at heart. 😄

The best part? You'll get to the bottom with a huge smile on your face, plus Mary's cake and fresh coffee waiting in our café!

🎥 Want to check out the trails before you visit? Head over to our YouTube channel for trail previews, podcasts, and plenty more Forest of Dean riding inspiration:

Did you know that areas with lots of tree cover can be up to 5°C cooler during hot weather? 🌳🌳🌳

That's thanks to the shade from the canopy and a clever natural process called evapotranspiration, where trees release water vapour and help cool the air around them.

So if you're looking to escape the heat this weekend and next week, we've got you covered (literally!).

🌲 Miles of shady forest trails
☕ Iced coffees in the café
🍦 Ice creams for a well-earned treat
💧 Water fountains to keep your bottles topped up and hydration levels high

Whether you're out for a ride, a walk, or simply looking for somewhere cooler to spend the day, the forest is the place to be.

Who's joining us for some natural air conditioning this weekend? 😎

We also get the lowdown on some of the fresh new TLD releases, plus plenty of stories, insight, and inspiration if you’re into bikes, brands, or just chasing that “how did they get there?” kind of path.

Confidence, new skills, and new riding friends? Yes please!

On Women's Takeover Day, we were joined by an awesome group of girls aged 10–14 for our Girls Only Little Fodders coaching session. 🙌

Split into groups based on ability, they spent the session working on cornering, body position, and line choice before heading out to put those new skills into practice on the trails. The smiles at the end said it all! 😁

Our next Girls Only session is on 12th July and it's the last one before the summer holidays! ☀️

If you're looking for a fun, supportive way for your daughter to build confidence, improve her riding, and make friends to ride with over the summer, this is the perfect opportunity. 💜🚵‍♀️

Spaces are limited, so book now and join us for a brilliant morning on the trails!
