I quite fancy trying my arm (or should that be risking?) at a beginners DH race this summer – something like the Forest of Dean?

Any suggestions?

(pro-mincing category)

Gawton Manor or UK Bike Park or Cwm Carn.

Don't know what you mean by 'beginer' though. All the above can be rolled or gnarred depending on rider ability.

Cheers, that looks good – I'll try and get down there for a day pass practice day.

i suppose I just mean that it would be a good vibe, not too serious and there would be a wide spread of ability

You could always try FoD this Sunday, should still be entries:

mini downhill, Forest of Dean

bit soon but I'll add that site to my faves. thanks
