Reviews for Bedgebury Forest Mountain Bike Trails

Summary:
good but could get better

Review:
It was quite wet and slippery so some off it i didnt do but the rest was fun although one part was broken i think. It sent me flying off my bike cause a part off the seesaw with chains the one with two parts the second part didnt rise in time and i hit it then my friend tried it and it got stuck so that needs fixing. Apart from that it was fun probably the best in the south east and will get better.

Summary:
Get there and ride it - its only going to get better

Review:
I wasn't that fit when I rode it and some bits nearly killed me, but I loved every moment of it.
We went in December and were absolutely caked in mud, but there is (if it hasn't frozen) a bike wash at the end and a cafe for bacon sandwiches.

Summary:
Good day out

Review:
Quite an easy XC trail to burn a few calories. Good fun to burn around, and plenty of forest single track.

Fit, experienced riders might be disappointed but the comments posted here are fair.

A little pricey, it's now 7.50 to get in, but plenty of facilities.

Summary:
Potential

Review:
Not a lot for beginners, which makes it difficult if your group has a mix of skills.

Jumps are okay although need some attention after the recent heavy rain.

The northshore is pretty rustic which is cool, however it could do with chicken wire for all year round freeriding. Large drop-offs could do with less of a flat landing to keep it flowing.

Summary:
Getting better?

Review:
I did my first loop of the Red Single Track route this weekend and really quite enjoyed it. I usually just ride in the wild, and the only other centre I've been to is Grizedale in the Lakes. Having said that, and read the previous reviews I would say:

I think the trails have bedded in over winter, as they were not boggy or rutted this weekend (has been raining a bit recently), and I went round with no grumbles.

Additionally there is now (it looked new) a small section set out in a large clearing where a snakey series of bermed corners have been added which are ok, possibly these need to bed in a bit.

The trail isn't as much fun as Grizedale, but is absoultely fine for an afternoons blast. I agree there is a fair bit of firetrack.

Parking was £7.50 on Sunday. OUCH. It was busy generally, though not on the bulk of the trail, I only got held up a little. But there were the odd plum riding round the route the wrong way. Idiots.
