Hi Guys,

I'm just getting back into riding cross country after not doing any for about 5 years. Does anyone know of any good intermediate level cross country tracks in or around the Forest of Dean? I would also appreciate any details of any campsites near the track so I can try out my new tent as well as my new bike!

Thanks very much

:D

  • Hi

    I was at the FOD earlier this year, they have a 5k red run which is marked and quite good, plus loads of unmarked riding which can be excellent.

    Details of the red run here:

    and it starts near here;

    I was told to go and explore as there is loads of riding out there, however I was with someone not so experienced so get to the marked route, well worth it though.

    Cannondale Prophet
