In addition, if you're planning a cycling trip outside of Bedgebury (for example: you wish to go cycling on the South Downs with a group of friends) and you'd like to hire bikes for the occasion, we'd be happy to help. We can even arrange local delivery.
Bedgebury Forest Cycle Club
Local experts and enthusiasts have now set up the Bedgebury Cycle Club, in order to accommodate the views and ideas of regular visitors and to ensure the successful evolution of the cycle trails.
The club is affiliated to British Cycling, ensuring that Bedgebury will be able to host BC approved events. The club will meet monthly in Bedgebury’s new Visitor Centre.
Membership benefits include an annual car parking pass, free showers and bike-wash, and discounts on parts and accessories in the Bedgebury bike shop run by Quench Cycles.
"Members have assisted with waymarking for the singletrack and freeride area, the extension and re-routing of the singletrack and the development of a dirt-jump area." Says Bedgebury Director David Hiscock. "Other regular activities include night-rides and social events."
