wierd choice this is probably the most boring section of the trail. Are you cutting corners beause you can't managed them or you just enjoy ruining the forest?
@morpheus160 Mmmm. Well its pretty boring all round. Cutting corners; in winter Bedgebury's a sodden mess that doesn't drain, mostly its about saving the drive train, or cutting another rider off at the pass; all fun. Ruining the forest? Its a commercial Forest that is felled, with a man made XC singletrack cut through it; its not virgin Caledonian Forest or a SSI. With a chainsaw, a digger and some time we could really have fun 'ruining' the forest and putting some worthwile singletrack in.
wow your awesome... .. you got some major lungs and legs... i cant believe you stayed on the road going that fast! what kind of tires do you use? do you use clipless pedals?
@JEZZERS101 Bedgebury is a complete sodden mess. It doesn't drain and is a mud fest most of the year. Not fit for purpose most of the time. You aint destroying anything by cutting corners here.
that first part is easily one of my favourite parts on the track, im only 15 and love riding bedgebury. my feind took a DH bike with him and was knackered after 2 km, bad idea. does anyone know if PORC is anygood for a XC/DH trails for a sort of beginner?
you'd be mad to take a DH bike to Bedgebury. Its an XC trail and even on a six inch AM bike it feels 'flat'. HT all the way as you'll be pedaling for 95% of the time.
Nope. The new built section with berms and small jumps is completely sh*gged due to the weather. All the scalpings have pressed into the waterlogged clay berms and you need a lot of effort just to keep the bike moving. I'd stay away from Bedgebury until it dries out (June?) unless you want grind down all the new components on your new bike.
Well i don't think the single track is bad.
It's not always wet.. if it is it's still great fun!
terrible quality just tested my gopro there today might upload a few vids later!
