If by enduro bikes you mean motorbikes then sorry no, it is against Forest Bylaws to ride motorbikes on any FC land without specific permission.

Can you ride enduro bikes any where around eastridge ?

hi do you think it would be possible to inform the cyclists that horse riders also use the woods. when they come downhill and cross the main track they can easily scare the horses. if we all work together we can all have off road riding fun. i'm also a bike rider so no how difficult it is to stop suddenly, but if you could just make them a little more aware perhaps a notice on the noticeboard would help. thanks for your help
