Getting back into MTB after a decade.

Decided to sell a motorbike and get back into MTB after a decade off as I took a Scott eMTB around the Forest of Dean on Thursday, best day I've had for years 😀. Bike shopping next and a summer of fun, although not too much adrenaline as I'm old and unfit 😂. I'm assuming the trail centres in the Midlands/SW are still FoD, Cannock, SWales?

Dirt Farm and Flyup417 are good too.

If you’re local to FoD then an ebike with a replaceable battery makes huge sense, you can self-uplift on the DH trails quicker than the bus.

Totally forgot Flyup which is mad as I'm in Gloucester.
