Dear Club Members and local riders
We take the health and wellbeing of our members, supporters, groups and volunteers very seriously and we're following Government and NHS guidance closely. Due to the current spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19) we have been advised by Cycling UK to cancel all our Club rides for the time-being and advise that if you want to go out cycling, keep a safe distance from others.
Until further notice all BucksMTB Club Rides and Group Rides are suspended.
For further information take a look at Cycling UK's Coronavirus Q&A: is it safe to cycle report and their further guidance on Covid-19. For further information also see the UK Government website.
Stay in touch with your friends using phones and social media and support each other both practically and with moral support through this difficult time.
We hope to have rides up and running soon.
Best Wishes
The BucksMTB Team
Despite the last few weeks of storms, conditions out there are pretty good. It may be boggy in places but a bit of mud doesn’t stop a mountain biker, it just adds to the fun!

Our first Open Group Ride of 2020 was off to a flyer with a great turn out, some areas of hard-packed frosty trails and some glorious sunshine! We had a few unfortunate no shows due to illness and the cold temperatures, but none the less we had a fantastic group of eight that took to the trails for a 15 mile singletrack and fireroad route in and around Coombe Hill. The temperature at one point hit a tropical four degrees, but what with some boggy patches of mud and some tough climbs everyone kept warm and took solace in the breaks in the clear skies and sunshine. Thank you to Scott and Mark for leading the ride, and a big thank you to everyone who came out and made the ride a huge success. Please keep an eye on our events calendar and social media for more group ride dates coming soon.

The BucksMTB Welsh Weekender Ride Report
It was on a club ride that someone mentioned the idea of a trip to Snowdon (im not taking the blame for that one!) and so the seed was planted…..a trip to Snowdon it would be! As we would be travelling to Snowdonia I wanted to make sure we did as many different venues as possible and the planning began.

The Shropshire Hills features the infamous Long Mynd ("Long Mountain"). A quick Google for ideas would suggest reviews such as a sprawling reserve known for its picturesque, verdant landscape, charming villages & waterways.....but there is no mention of the epic six mile ascent to reach the top of the moorland plateau! An eleven strong Club Trip packed up their climbing legs and took to the 'Shire to endure the endless climbing, stunning views, fast singletrack, oh and some great cake...
