Forest of Dean

The new blue route (the Verderer's trail) at Forest of Dean is definitley worth a ride.   It's one of a new generation of blue routes that has plenty to entertain "red" riders - plenty of berms, kickers etc, the only thing there isn't is drop offs or rock gardens.   The ascent was pleasant if not terribly exciting, but the descent was awesome.   There's a couple of red options that are a bit steeper.

We've not ridden them yet, but they're on the tick-list......

We haven’t found any good riding here. Given that Rich’s folks live here, we’ll keep you posted if the situation improves!
