Hi,

I have ridden at Bikefest for the last 5 years and always enjoy it, even though it is a little tame, just wanted to know how 50 acre woods compare, and what the trail is like to ride for my next visit for Oktoberfest?

Any images or vidoes other than the official web site?

Cheers,

    I like it. Nothing particularly challenging but good for a few rooty loops. It's rockier and rootier than the rest of the Timberland Trail.

    It's great. I ride there 2-3 times a week. Thing is that the faster you take it, the more fun it is. There are several new sections that we have built with the Bristol Trails Group to not only speed it up and sort out boggy sections, but also to add extra features with more log jumps, step drops, berms etc. It is what it is - fast, twisty, fun filled singletrack, enjoyed best flat out with your rat out....

    Worth a visit if it has been dry for several days. Complete mess when it is raining though.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.
