A great day out for experienced and beginner MTB enthusiasts alike. Bedgebury's dedicated Singletrack MTB trail follows 13km of exhilarating riding around the 2000 acre Bedgebury Forest, and is designed for mountain bikers who enjoy all the challenges that the sport offers, including challenging climbs, tricky decents, berms, drop-offs and large rocks. You can also detour round many obstacles if you like :)
We will have c.4 hours in the forest which is enough time for a few laps or else a wander in the woods or just relaxing in the beauty of the forest.
What to bring
Apart from your bike remember the following:.
- Spare inner tube and tyre levers. Also any special tools that your bike needs.
- Food - bring lunch and small snacks such as chocolate bars and energy foods.
- Plenty of water (minimum 2lts)
- Eye protection - impact from a bee, grit or even a fly at speed is extremely unpleasant, sunglasses may do if not made of glass and not too shaded.
- Clothing: choose suitable clothes and footwear for the weather forecast and time of year. You will be exercising so lightweight layered clothing is best. Shorts are best even in rain, as they allow free movement of your legs. Jeans are useless if it rains but tracksuit bottoms need to be not too baggy or they may snag in the chain and cause an accident. You'll need trainers or similar with grippy soles for standard pedals.
- Cyclist's Helmet - Outdoorlads policy asks you to wear a helmet events.
- Bag you will need a small day-sack to carry essential clothing, water and an emergency snack.
Food & drink
Please bring your own packed lunch. There is a cafe available at Bedgebury but it can close with little notice and can get very busy. Bring plenty of water and snacks.
