Forest of Dean Cycle Centre

I finally found a mountain bike cycle centre in the South West (Swindon, Cheltenham) area.

We did one of the Blue and one of the Red trails at the forest of dean yesterday. Sadly I did not take my GPS along so I do not have a track log, but I'll definitely be vesting them again. Cycle centre isn't as nice as LLandegla, but the staff are very friendly and helpful.

I'm used to doing the Black rated trails so the Blue run wasn't very exciting, but a fun, high speed, run just for the fun anyway. The red trail is short (less that 5km but semi interesting in the wet yesterday. I'm looking forward to doing some of the black runs next time we go and possibly trying to do the full red run again.

Signage was not the best with walking trails and cycling trails using the same colour scheme. Also at one point the red run has signage showing that no bikes are aloud.... We went anyway and it was quite nice. I suppose we just need to get used to the signage because it was our first time.
