Unfortunately due to frozen ground conditions tomorrow’s Dig Day has been cancelled. As much as we want to crack on with the new features and trail developments there’s simply nothing that can be done given how deeply frozen the soil is. So, why not go for a ride while the trails are running super fast [...]

It was a little bit drizzly at last Wednesday evening’s session, but then again it has been every other time in the past! Only 4 BCC members ventured out into the comparatively mild evening to sharpen their polo skills. We were also joined by Bristol’s Rich Miller, who displayed levels of skills us mere mortals [...]

Facade media (BCC member – Daniel Irons) have been up in the woods (allotment) catching a glimpse of Chris Smith riding our trails at night. I don’t think I’d quite fancy hitting 143 like this in the dark. Enjoy…………….. Chris Smith / Night Ride from Facade on Vimeo.

January XC Away-Day – Quantocks ‘Plan B’. Having test-ridden *most* of the proposed new Quantocks route on Saturday, I’m very glad I did. Unfortunately it emerges that some of the newly-discovered trails which were spectacular in late August, are proper-shonky in January and are definitely best left for re-visit in the Summer. So… there will [...]

A couple of BCC members partook in a great new MTB event last May and it’s on again this year. Heaven Of The South is a charity event which we can’t recommend highly enough. It is a superb weekend of camping, fun, biking, scrumpy, music and food. In 2011 the event raised over £4000 for local charities and in [...]
