Confidence Building Day at Forest of Dean 12th May 2024

Every so often, as a group we have a "Confidence Building Day". These days are largely to help those, through injury or other life circumstances, haven't ridden for a while and want to get back into it. (We are going to try and do at least 6 of these a year for anyone thats interested).
I had a few technical issues, stem kept coming loose, headset loose (as a result) and a slightly malfunctioning suspension fork so apologies for the rattling noises.
For anyone wanting to see my Marino 4, it is being ridden by a good friend in this video. (It's the only bike I have with an air shock so was easier to tune it for him).

They should've definitely let you two pass considering they were so slow.

Thank you for your comment, too be fair we expect this on those particular tracks (Countdown and Launchpad) at FoD as those are there to help introduce people to the sport. (Same as the Verderers). We generally don't have this issue on the other tracks at FoD, not generally anyway. We have to share the trails and on this particular day with the Canyon Collective, it was very busy :-)

@@churchofdirt-mtb I only said this because I am that slow ;) hahaha and any time someone really fast is behind me I get nervous

[@churchofdirt-mtb]

The vast majority of us are slower than someone else and I think most riders understand that others can be nervous.......those that don't can eat dirt 🤣
