    Work is conveniently taking me close to the Forest of Dean tomorrow so I thought it would be rude not to chuck the bike in the car and go for a quick spin around the Verderers late afternoon as I’ve not ridden it before.

    Bearing in mind the recent damp conditions, anyone know what the current conditions are like and would I be better off taking a canoe or similar? 🙂

    The only muddy part will be the end of the Verderers.

    What a cracking little trail the Verderers is – had to go around twice. I’ll have to try more Blue trails if they’re as fun as this one.

    It’s great isn’t it!

    I tend to do the whole thing once as a warm up and then push/ride up the shortcut to ride the descent a few times more.
