📍 Hamsterley Forest Visitor Centre
↔️ ~15 mile circuit ride (time in saddle 3-4 hours)
👀 Hammers is mountain biking heaven, offering both very flowy trails and picturesque views. It's definitely worth the drive and rewards us with a nice little café at the end of the ride.
🔴 We're going to do a lap of the black and red trails, including trails such as Root 666, Transmission, Odd Sox, Accelerator and Special K. Have a look at the trail map here.

What to bring
✅ For your own safety we're checking every participant's kit on the day. Therefore it's important that you bring all the below items, to avoid disappointment.
- A high quality, well maintained mountain bike
- Having performed an M check on your bike a week before the event (to give yourself a chance to sort any repairs if needed)
- A good quality helmet, ideally a full face helmet
- Knee pads, and gloves are highly recommended
- Different layers of clothing so you can adjust as the day goes on and you don't run too hot or cold
- Optionally, elbow pads if you want to push yourself safely
- Spares for your bike, i.e. spare inner tube, maybe a spare chain
