We are back with another of our Exmoor Forest Ride Days. This one is on Sunday 21st April 2024

The parking will be at Raleghs Cross Inn at Brendon Hill, Exmoor TA23 0LN

From here you need to unload your road-legal bike and ride the 3 miles to the forest destination on local roads and tracks.

The route to the ride venue will be marked from the parking site at Raleghs Cross

Remember to bring some cash with you for the excellent food and drink served all-day

For this event you MUST have a TRIALS REAR TYRE, these are block pattern tyres such as Pirelli MT43 or Maxxis Trailsmax.

Enduro tyres, even if road legal are not accepted, there will be no exceptions. Juniors with small wheels can run anything. This is the agreement we have with the landowner. Scrutineering will be in place (tyres, brakes, exhaust, etc) 

Under 16's ride free with a TRF riding guardian and we can arrange parking for you at the location by prior agreement. Call Anff on 07835008171 PARENTS, PLEASE NOTE; THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR UNDER 16 CHILD AT ALL TIMES AND WILL BE SUPERVISING THEM THROUGHOUT THE DAY. Orange numbered bibs will be issued in pairs for parents and their children if they are riding. Under 16's are not permitted to ride without their parent riding with them.

The format of the day is a one-directional main loop that will be approximately 4 miles long and chosen to be rideable by all abilities and ages.

Off this main loop are several sub-loops that will vary in technical difficulty and be marked as Moderate, Severe or Extreme, these sub-loops take you back onto the main loop. 

Adv Bikes are welcomed. We are offering some led rides of the main loop and other appropriate areas. This will be for all abilities. If you are an experienced and competent Adv Bike rider you can ride the course individually. Please consider if you can self-recover when riding the larger bikes.
