SheRides: Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire

Women's social ride at the Forest of Dean for those comfortable on blue trails and happy with hill climbs, hosted by SheRides Ambassador Ernesta. Meet from 9:45am at the Pedalabikeaway café benches, Forest of Dean Cycle Centre main car park, riding from 10am (what3words: ///wacky.chimp.structure). A 7-mile blue trail warm-up, a café lunch break, then an optional afternoon exploring higher-level trails for those interested, with the option to stay on blue trails throughout. Slow to medium pace in a supportive, no-pressure environment - "we won't be rushing to get done, we won't be pushing to tick off features."

Bring a mandatory helmet, a trail-suitable, working bike, and snacks and water; knee/elbow pads and gloves are optional, and a packed lunch is optional since the café is available. Paid car park on-site. Ride is free, car park fee applies.

Open to women 18+; you ride at your own risk. Sign up via the form on the event page.
