Lydney forest off piste MTB Trails in 2026| Lydney Woods MTB|

Описание: Please join me as I ride Lydney Woods off-piste MTB trails, exploring singletrack and off-piste trails on my MTB in the Forest of Dean, on an MTB group ride with friends from Church of Dirt. 🤩🤍

In this episode, I visit Lydney Forest to explore the singletrack and off-piste trails that this location is famous for, from challenging trails, descents and jumps to off-piste trails in sloppy, muddy and wet conditions in the Forest of Dean.🌳

All of this on my MTB, a new-to-me bike that started it all, my 2018 Santa Cruz Tall bot MTB, 😍 which I haven’t ridden for 18 months since I got my EMTB. The surprising thing is that it’s not the climbing; it’s the descending trails on a lighter MTB that shook me a little.

I hope 🤞🏼 my exploration shares my honest experience, with insights into the lushness of Mallards Ponds and the Forest of Dean, along with my links to Strava and Kamoot, so you can copy the XC Loop/Trail to use and follow for yourself if this is your first time riding this lovely trail. 🤩

My diary entries celebrate the MTB community: a place where we lift each other up, no one is left behind, and we cheer on every milestone, no matter how small. 🤍 🤙🏼

You are all truly AWESOME! 🤩 Thank you, my friends. 🙏🏼

I share this diary entry hoping 🤞🏼 that I will start to express my gratitude and showcase others achieving their goals, just as I have. ✅

My videos are not just about me; they are about MTB and one of the most remarkable revelations I have encountered: you, the MTB community that has consistently had a positive impact on me, as you have on each other. 🤍

I want to sincerely thank the MTB community for their incredible kindness, warmth, and support. Not only have I been welcomed into the community, but I've also had the joy of joining and organising group rides where I genuinely feel I have had the most fun, the most incredible adventures, and even the most significant progression in MTB. 😊

Until the next time, my friends 😊. I wish you absolute LEGENDS 🙌🏼 now and always, many Happy Trails. 🤙🏼
