Yesterday, along with Mark's 1 & 2, we headed west on the hottest day of the year to the Forest of Dean to sample the delights of their FlyUp downhill tracks. We met Rog, Dunc and Sam there and a few other Surrey Hills riders were also along for the day.
The trails are superb: steep, fast, rooty, technical and with plenty of variation. Some bits are like our own trails, some much more like Cwm Carn and the "trail centre" has a really nice vibe, no doubt helped by the superb weather.
Plenty of crashes, plenty of mechanicals, plenty of laughs - I can't wait to go back. I'm sure Mark2 will be posting a YouTube highlights sensation soon enough but here's a couple of photos of Sam's spectacular crash to whet your appetite in the meantime....
