Three of us heading down on Thursday to the FoD. It’s my old stomping ground, but been so long that I’ll not have a clue where to go from pedalabikeaway. Any locals about Thursday that would be kind enough to guide us, or email me a garmin course?

Looking for 20 or 25 mile loop…

Reward in tea and cake if a stop is possible.

Are the Lawnmower and Dr John’s fully open now?

Thanks for the info, very much appreciated.

Lawnmower has changed, first half is not great, second half is as good as ever was. Dr johns is fine but will be a mudfest on the first bit…as usual.

Double postage 🙁

That reminds me – a few months ago was driving to pedalbikeaway, and passed a set of doubles visible from the road, I didn’t have time to stop and record the GPS location and never got time to go back as we were up visiting friends.

I think, if you come out of PBA turn right, end of the road, right again, they were on the left – not 100% sure though – any locals know if I’m thinking of the right location?

Does anyone have these loops ready to go for the Garmin Edge’s? Complete with turn by turn directions!? 😐

I saw some jumps too on the way back on Sunday! Looked quite big, not used much and in someones garden..

You are 🙂 They’ve been there for years, most local riders will have played there at some point in the last 20 years or so. They’re at a place called Broadwell.

Unfortunately I’m working Thursday otherwise I’d have offered to show you around mcobie. Don’t do electronic so unable to help with downloads, sorry 🙁

Guys at the PaBA centre will help though.

there is a gpx on the fodmtb site for the enduro routes which were good fun this year, though not sure how logging would affect them…

couple here – under forest of dean

though they look a little old 😕

I was taken round the FoD via the following route last year, no idea if all the trails are still open:

That’s a cracking route DoctorRad, very similar to one I used to show people round on (but not exactly the same) – who took you round?
Would do well to put it all together without a guide but should all still be rideable with possibly just a few local diversions 8)

It was a mud bath over the Dowies saturday before the Hail storm.Still good just get covered.Hay Ho should be use to it this year after such a wonderfull summer. 😆

The logging is only effecting parts of the verderers at the moment,they have also put a diversion in place

Double post !

@psling – it was a RetroBike ride in 2011, can’t remember who led it though…

Ah, may have been me or possibly Sheldon; either way I’m sure Big Ed was involved 8)

Or it could have been me , I led most of the 2011 and all the 2012 Retrobike rides around the FoD
