Saturday Club Rides at Bedgebury

These rides are led by two BFCC coaches on the date listed above. It’s suitable for beginner level when the rider is capable of completing a 16k ride in 2 hours.

We meet opposite the Quench Cycles bike wash to set off on the regular Bedgebury red route at 10:00. We’ll usually be back at the car park at 12:00 before relaxing by the lake for refreshments and a chat. Non club members are welcome but you’ll need a moderate level of fitness and be capable of riding some fairly bumpy trails. Please make sure your bike is well maintained and perhaps carry a spare inner tube plus cycle pump and a puncture repair kit. These rides are not particularly fast paced and we’ll stop for a breather and for any slower riders to catch up at many points around the 14km single track loop.

Meeting point

The meeting point in the car park is at the start of the lower gravel road heading up into the forest. There are signs on the post for Go Ape and also signs for cycle route information and a large map. There’s also a circle of large rocks of about knee height. This is opposite Quench Cycles and the bike wash.
