Headed over to the Forest Of Dean with Alice last weekend, I have to say that it rocks. Loads of different trails, we hit up the Downhill runs, they have the lot, big jumps, rooty tech, fast and flowy, bermed and jumpy.
I took the Kona Howler and loved it, although I felt a little under biked at times it more than held its own and I was able to keep up with some of the big boys on £3k machines ;-).
Alice took her Meta 5 and really started to push herself. After riding on Saturday we headed straight to the Dianese shop in Old market and they sorted her out with a sweet set of body armour/spine guard.
back there first thing Sunday morning and now that she was armoured up Al started jumping the lips rather than just rolling the. We even have photo evidence of her in the air (Corkscrew is a wicked fun trail)
off to Devon this weekend for Lulabum's birthday and to try out the new stuff at Holden on the Saturday. then maybe Mini Afan or Triscombe on the Sunday and back to FOD on Monday.
Did i mention that they run a sweet uplift service there as well?
