How you can help

Sitting at the easternmost edge of the Forest of Dean, it’s easy for mountain bikers to overlook the Wye Valley

Is your map the right way up Jon? 😀

These types of rides (dare I say “like we used to do back in the 90s”) have become our default setting in recent times – first the series of lockdowns dictated local rides and then the recent systematic trail destruction by the storms up here (SW Scotland) have changed our options.

Definitely been reaching for the hardtail a lot more then the FS…

This side of the Wye Valley is magical for riding. It is unlike anywhere else in the country to be fair.

That is a fantastic photograph Vincent !
