2017 plans for the Forest of Dean Mountain Bike Trails

The Dean Trail Volunteers are the main reason behind why the Forest of Dean trails are so popular with mountain bikers have just published their plans for 2017!

Over the next 12 Months the #DeanTrailVolunteers hope (there is only 6 of us) to:

• Have a Skills Area + Pump Track Built
• Build individual top sections from the Start Mound to GBU (this will be the current top run but modified)
• Corkscrew (already scratched in)
• Ski Run (a line of tabletops)
• Launchpad (half built already)
• We will also hope to scratch new top sections to Mr Rooty & Endo
• We are also looking to design something New to replace the now unused OC line between GBU and Endo
• GBU should finally get the rollers to pump through the current pedally section before the road gap
• We would love to develop some really challenging DH runs at the Worcester Lodge End of the valley but we need keen volunteer DH Riders to get it done
• Freeminers will get a link into the 10 mile XC Enduro Route
• And of course lots of general maintenance and anything else that we think of along the way.

For those that can't volunteer for whatever reason don't forget we have a donation box in Pedalabikeaway by the till and a Paypal button on our website, also you could donate any useable bike bits that we can sell on race days this is also a chance for you to come and ask any questions you may have about volunteering :) or just thank us for our hard graft and insane devotion. www.deantrailvolunteers.com
