Going to FoD tomorrow with the DH bikes, not been there before. I heard the last descent of the xc trail (verdermerdernaners or something) is decent for a ride as well as the DH tracks. Just wondering if it'd be good on a DH bike and if you can access it from the push up path.

    Yes you can access it from push up, it's ok if you like motorway smooth trails with a few berms in but personally on a DH bike i wouldn't bother.

    Thinking of heading up there myself this weekend. But got no riding buddies this one and never confident doing DH on my own lol(makes me sound like a pansie!)

    I wouldnt worry about that mate! I'm not quick or enthusiastic, i just ride for the fun of it. Get involved for a laugh and some fall offs. We'll be ready to ride about 10 tomorrow, same sunday. Would be useful to have a trail guide

    will do yeah, we'll probably come back down in a few weeks for another saturday, then maybe book onto cwmcarn for the sunday. Busy for a bit though, got a fair bit coming up in the next few weeks - we're off to inners soon, then my mates have booked out revolution bike park for a weekend and the alps coming up so pretty busy!
