Big win for our community ❤️

We’ve successfully acquired a defibrillator, made possible with support from our friends at RideMendips.Org and all of our local community who helped us along the way.

This will make a real difference in an emergency — thank you to everyone involved! 🙌

All trails are now open. Euroforest have finished so we're good to go. It's a bit of a mess up at the trail head, but Xmas Trees/Jump Line are in reasonable shape. We'll organise a dig day soon just to tidy up a few areas and improve some features that died over the last few winters.

Happy New Year riding folk.

We wanted to make you aware that Forestry England have closed the trails in the Christmas Trees area, while they carry out felling work.

If you see tape closing off a trail, please leave it as the trail behind won't be rideable until the work is complete.

They estimate the felling should finish in the next 1 - 2 weeks and then they'll need to do the collection / forwarding.

So the trails should be reinstated in about one month. In the mean time please head to the Pump Track trail head and ride in that direction.

One to lend some support to, if you're interested in helping to look after our trails.

Whether you're an educator, parent or simply want to preserve the area around The Mendips, this is for you.

Ride Mendips is working to become a community hub for Trash Free Trails. We'll let you know when this has a bit more movement.

A quick update about the forestry work going on Rowberrow Warren.

The work around Xmas Trees is going to happen later in the summer and early autumn. This will cause some disruption in that area. But for most of the summer it will remain untouched.

There is an area shown in hatched yellow (end of Pump Track in green) on the map where work is currently happening. Please use the bridleway to access the next section of trails, as the end of the Pump Track will be closed off.
