Updates / closures

Important Trail Update

Forestry harvesting operations are currently underway in the forest. We’re working closely with the forestry team to manage risks and keep trail disruption to a minimum.

The Skills Area, Pumptrack and Freeride area are currently closed due to harvesting work.

Running Trails – Currently CLOSED due to harvesting operations

Before you ride
Please check the Trail Notice Board at the Visitor Centre for the latest updates.

Thanks for your cooperation and support—riding responsibly helps us keep the trails open for everyone!

——————————–

Please follow the diversion signs to avoid current forest harvesting. Please follow any additional instructions given by machine operators in the area. Do not attempt to ride any of these sections of the trail for your safety and the safety of the operators in the area. Please stick to the way-marked trails and don’t ride on the forest roads unless directed by diversion signs. This is because of the harvesting vehicles.

Please also stay only on the waymarked routes throughout the forest during this period as a lot of heavy timber haulage will be taking place on ALL forest roads. Many thanks for your help and happy riding.

Bike Hire FAQ'S
What if I damage the bike?

In the case of a bike being returned with damage, a fair value will be charged to repair the bike, to bring it back to re-rentable condition. If this is deemed to be more than the value of the deposit, the full retail value is payable.

What happens if my E-Bike hire runs out of battery?

We want all of our customers who use our hire fleet to have a great experience! We do recommend using the e-bike modes sensibly. To maximise your riding experience we strongly recommend keeping the e-bike riding modes in ECO and TRAIL and only using BOOST occasionally this is to preserve the battery life. Only use BOOST when the trail becomes extremely steep, this reduces the risk of running out of power while out on the trails.

I am under 18, can i still hire a bike?

If you are under 18, you will need to have a responsible adult to complete the disclaimer and provide suitable photo ID. They will need to declare that they take full responsibility for your’s, and the bikes, safety during the hire period. Under 16’s must be accompanied at all times during hire period.

Do I need to pre-book?

Whilst we will always do our best to accommodate ‘On the spot rentals’, priority will always be given to pre-booked bikes and we do get fully booked at busy times. we strongly recommend pre-booking bikes with ourselves by using the form above to avoid disappointment. You will be required to pay in full at the time of booking.

What time can I pick it up?

If you have chosen to hire bikes out for an all day session your allocated bikes will be available for pick up anytime between 9am and 2pm.

If you have chosen a Morning Session, your bike will be available from 9am.

If you have chosen an Afternoon session your bike will be available from 1pm.

What frame size should I choose?

All bikes are measured differently, so even if you know what size frame you normally ride, it’s better to just enter your height and let us tell you the best size. We only hire full-size adult bikes, so you need to be over 5’2” to ride.

What sort of bike will I get?

Our standard hire bike is a high quality hardtail with either a 27.5 or 29 inch wheel depending on the size required.

Full suspension bikes and e-bikes are also available at additional cost. The price of which varies depending on make, model and spec. The price is detailed when selecting the bike via our booking widget.

What should I wear?

Wear something comfortable and unrestrictive: tracksuit bottoms are ideal or – if you’ve got them – cycling shorts. We recommend against denim because it’s cold when it gets wet, and it’s not very comfortable to ride in. You should also bring a pair of gloves to wear.

How much does it cost?

You can hire our ‘Standard hire bike’ for a full day for £45.00 per bike (Including free helmet hire if you don’t have your own). An all day session is 9.00am to 4.00pm or 1.00pm to 8.00pm on a Wednesday.

We do also offer full suspension hire bikes and e-bikes. Prices for these bikes differ depending on brand, model and spec, so please use the booking widget to select your preferred bike, the price will then be displayed.

Do I need to wear a helmet?

Yes! You can’t ride our hire bikes on our trails without one. Helmet hire is included in the cost of bike hire, but you are welcome to use your own if you prefer, providing it is in good condition and is certified by the relevant British Standards Institution (BSI) specification.
