Singletrack mountain bike trail


(Average user rating5 unrated 4.4/5)

13km of singletrack mountain biking.

Here's a first-hand view from a member of Bedgebury Forest Cycle club; 

 

"Bedgebury Forest’s MTB single track is designed for Mountain Bikers who enjoy all the challenges that this sport offers. But don’t be deceived by the beautiful and tranquil surrounding of this high quality Forestry Commission site, for the trails and cycling facilities are more than just a challenge for most riders – beginners or experts!
 Over 13kms of dedicated single track trails wind their way through the forest in one continuous loop, which can be cut short to meet everyone’s needs. Each section offers a wonderful riding experience from fast sweeping gradual descents that twist their way through the trees, to the sheer grunt and pain required to climb up ‘Cardiac Hill’ – tears to laughter and laughter to tears, as you cycle around this beautiful course.
Generally graded as a ‘Red’ trail, the local cycling club (Bedgebury Forest Cycling Club) and the Forestry Commission are busy developing the site, with various ‘Freeride’ play areas and some serious ‘Black’ run options that will make riders break into a sweat - but will be a Thrillseekers delight.
When riding this single track you will start with a smile and end with the long ‘starvegoose’ downhill section that is sure to leave you with a smile. Happy riding!"
