Gareth here with the deets on two of the challenges you’ll want to get involved with at FOD Fest this weekend 👇

🔥 SATURDAY – TWISTED SISTER DESCENT

Billy Pugh and Katy Curd are setting the benchmark. Think you can get close?

Get yourself down Twisted Sister, put a time down and see how you stack up. You can have as many goes as you like throughout the day, and if you get close enough to their times, there’s a prize with your name on it.

Just remember: only your Strava time from Saturday counts, so no digging out that suspiciously quick run from 2019. 😂

💪 SUNDAY – THE TIGHT & TWISTY CLIMB?!

Yep. You read that correctly.

Steve Jones from EMBN is setting a time on Tight & Twisty (Red Adit) on Enduro Hill…

But you’re climbing it. 💪

Beat Steve’s time on the day, show us your Strava in the café and you’ll bag yourself a free pint 🍺 (18+ obviously — sorry, mini shredders!)

And that’s just two of the things happening across the weekend. There’ll be loads more riding, competitions, bike chat, bike goodies and general MTB mischief going on.

Come along, get involved and soak up the FOD Fest vibes!

And one final thing from Gareth: be kind to your fellow riders and be kind to the forest. Take your litter home and leave the trails looking as good as you found them. ❤️

See you out there! 🤘

FOD Fest is almost here, and we’ve got a little mission for the mini shredders…

Grab the kids, head over to the Dean Trail Volunteers (DTV) stand, and pick up your Old Bob Treasure Hunt sheet in exchange for a donation to the brilliant charity who help keep our trails riding sweet. ❤️

Then it’s time to hit the trail!

🔎 Ride Old Bob
🧩 Find the puzzles hidden along the way
✏️ Crack the clues and fill in your answers
🏆 Head back to DTV with your completed sheet to claim your prize!

And the best bit? You can squeeze the treasure hunt in between all the other FOD Fest shenanigans…

🐰 Bunny hop competitions
💨 Whip-offs on GBU
🧍‍♂️ Track stands
🚲 Bike brands and bike goodies
🔥 And all the general MTB chaos and good vibes you could possibly want

It’s not just a weekend of riding, it’s a proper celebration of the Forest of Dean MTB community, and we want the whole family involved.

So grab the kids, grab your bikes and come join us for a weekend of riding, treasure hunting, cheering, bike-chatting and generally having a brilliant time. 🤘

FOD Fest is this weekend. Let’s make it a good one!

Thursday Night just for a whole lot more delicious...

This week’s Late Night Thursday Flavour Club is taking a little trip to Japan 🇯🇵🥢

We’re talking KATSU. Crispy, crunchy, saucy goodness with enough Japanese-inspired deliciousness to make your Thursday plans look very, very sorted.

And yes… we’re open late until 9pm! So you can get your bike fix in, then get your dinner fix too.

Come hungry. Leave happy. 😋

The autumn equinox is nearly here, which can only mean one thing… Winter is coming! From 1st October, we’re switching to our winter opening hours and will be closed on Mondays for the next few months.

But honestly? We’re pretty excited about autumn:
🍂 Forest colours looking 🔥
🚲 No more overheating on the climbs
🌧️ That first bit of proper autumn grip
🔥 And absolutely no judgement for stopping by the fire for a hot drink and one of Mary’s cakes.

Just remember: from October 1st Monday = closed. So please don’t pedal all the way to us on a Monday only to find a very quiet café.

But Thursdays? We do extra!
🌙 Late Night Thursday
🍽️ Café open until 9pm for Flavour Club
🔥 Hot food, hot drinks and good reasons to stay out a little longer.

Bring on autumn!

🌅 Sunset: 7.20pm
🚿 Toilets & showers: open until 9pm

The final Little Fodders race of 2026 is happening on Saturday 3rd October and spaces are now nearly sold out!

Whether they’re brand new to racing or already flying down the trails, there’s racing for 5–14 year olds. Plus, it’s our final race of the season, so we’ll be handing out the overall season prizes too!

And girls - we’d LOVE to see more of you on the start line! At the moment, just 21% of our entries are girls, so if your daughter fancies giving racing a go, get her signed up! 🙌

🏁 WANT TO GET INVOLVED WITHOUT RACING?

We’re also looking for race marshal volunteers! It’s a brilliant way to cheer the kids on, soak up the race-day atmosphere and be part of the Little Fodders crew.

And yes… there are perks. 😉
☕ Hot drink before racing starts
🥐 Free breakfast
🎟️ Free entry for your kid to the next race
📧 Email [email protected] to sign up to marshal!

So, bring the bike. Bring the nerves. Bring your cheering voice. Let’s make the final Little Fodders race of 2026 a good one! 🌲🏁

The Brrrrr months are here, which means we can start SOUP SEASON! 🙌

Our specials menu is having a little autumnal glow-up, and today’s lunch is a proper hug in a bowl:

Cauliflower, Cheddar & Mustard Soup 🤤

Creamy, cheesy, warming and just the right amount of mustardy goodness. Basically, the edible equivalent of putting on your favourite jumper.

Perfect after a chilly ride… or, you know, if you’ve simply walked from the car park. 😉

Come and start soup season with us (and then carry on enjoying it all autumn and winter!)
