When I arranged this ride back in March, I was blissfully unaware that Forest Live would be taking place during this period and that Sir Tom Jones would be singing on this every evening at High Lodge.
Whilst I’m reluctant to cancel the ride as, for the most part, it shouldn’t affect things, there is a possibility that we will need to alter our route or cut it short due to traffic entering the forest.
On the positive side of things though, there is a good chance that we’ll have a very pleasant backing track to ride to during the latter stages of the ride.
When this ride was arranged, I was unaware that Sir Tom Jones would be playing this evening for Forest Live at High Lodge. Due to this taking place, it may be necessary to change or cut-short the route as a high volume of traffic may be present getting into the forest.
Come and join us for a steady Friday evening ride around the trails of Forest Heath and clear out those work related cobwebs from the week.
This is primarily a social ride with a planned average speed of around 7-9 mph and we will keep to the pace of our slowest riders.
There is nothing technical along this route and no specific skills or mountain bike related equipment are needed in order to take part and enjoy this ride. Suitable for mountain bikes, gravel bikes or hybrids with off-road tyres, the entire route is made up of unpaved surfaces, varying from dirt trail to fire road and is completely traffic free.
I ask that you ensure your bike is in a trail-worthy condition before arriving. Please bring with you a spare inner-tube, pump (or CO2 canisters) and tyre levers in case of any unforeseen tyre related issues. I also ask that you wear a helmet and have appropriate clothing for the activity/weather, as well as to bring a drink along to have while you’re out on the trails.
