Great little trail

Review:
MBUK featured the FODCA Trail (soon to be re-named) last year, describing it as 'fantastic'. It certainly is good, but at only three and a half miles, it's too short. Fortunately, near by, there's a shed load of excellent riding - if you can find it! The adjoining downhill is signposted, and worth the push up, but again is too short. Above it, and to either side, are half a dozen excellent downhill tracks, but these are not marked and you'll find them a lot easier if you know someone with local knowledge.

Review:
Can find some really good stuff but you need to look fairly hard for it! Also definately good to ride during dry weather and good light as some of the trails get dark quick.

Review:
The FODCA Trail has some very tricky switch backs as well as some demanding rooty drops. I would not recommend this to someone who is not commited to riding the whole of it!
