Here are the results from yesterdays tickertape in the woods, report to follow with pics and go pro footage. It was an ace day and a big thanks to everyone who helped set up and pack away, one small mention though was the unusual presence of litter, remember if you bring it you shouldn’t have [...]

For this month’s ride away we visited Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre, which is a guaranteed smile-enducer. Going on a ride away is always exciting as it gives you the opportunity to ride terrain that you don’t usually experience, it also gives Longleat a welcome break from the battering it has taken this winter. We congregated [...]

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 [...]
