Cross Country Ride to Flax Bourton & Backwell

This ride will start In Ashton Court along the first part of the trail. From there we'll head towards Flax Bourton and then Backwell before looping back to Ashton Court. After leaving AC it will be a mixture cross country and natural trails, country lanes and a few connecting roads. There will be some tricky sections and some tough climbs, so a reasonable degree of confidence on a mountain bike and a decent level of fitness will be required.

Meet at the Golf Hut/Cafe in the car park at 13:00 ready to ride, expect to be out for around 3hrs.

You should have a bike in good mechanical order. Full suspension highly recommended! Bring your helmet, some tools and spares for your bike, and drink and snacks to get you around. RSVP if you fancy it - but please give as much notice if you cannot make it. It is important to understand that all riders must be responsible for their own health, safety and well being as well as being prepared for dealing with typical situations such as changes in weather, mechanical problems, flat tyres, etc. Mountain Biking is challenging and not free of risk.

The car park is pay and display - cost is £4 for the for 5 hours & £2.50 for 2 hours. If you want to avoid the charge you could arrange to meet en route after leaving AC.

Bikes and other equipment can also be hired at Pedal Progression in the car park area.
