MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just wanted to say congratulations its a great addition to the centre, about time something like this was brought to us!
How did the opening go on friday? 
think its this friday 22nd
Is that the last bit of the new xc bit, that's a bit like the end of thE Monkey but way better? Rode that yesterday, was a bit overbiked as I was on the uplift but it was well fun 🙂
All the new stuff at the FOD is great, love the new ending to Sheepskull.
How was the uplift Tom? I almost attended in Al's place but other things came up. Weather was gopping in Bristol.
Oh, and what's changed on SheepSkull?
Was awesome, did about 14 runs again I think. Was a bit wet but not really slippy apart from a few roots. The whole bottom section has changed, they've added a double, couple of kickers/drops and some nice big berms 🙂
Agree with whiter74, I believe the official opening is this weekend coming. Some people may find the new trail a bit sanitised but it's a great way to get out and explore the area and I defy anyone to not get to the bottom of the 'Dragon's Tail' final decent without a big grin on their face 8)
Lots of other work going on at the cycle centre too including an extension to the cafe area 😀
Verders. Its already got a better name. "The Centreparks trail" Good fun that and it makes a nice way to the top. Great for SSing and night rides in the winter.
Last time I wandered up there Sheeps skull was buggered. A sodding great artificial berm and all the old stuff screwed. Why can't things be left alone?
Oh yeah . The FoD is NOT a trail centre thank you very much.
imo the new ending of Sheepskull is better, yes a bit more artificial but it's more interesting I think. I do love berms and little jumps though.
sorry of course its not a TC 😉 damn it im a week in front...in that case i deffo havent ridden it before i get a telling off but the vids on you tube deffo arent there either
liking the new/alt jumpy bit at the top of corkscrew too
best part is still on FOD website of the rider falling off...twice

A lot of riders on the Verderer's Trail without a helmet over the weekend!
Come on people don't be stupid, be safe. Especially with the final decent now reclassified to red.
