Gloucester and The Forest of Dean -
Cycling holidays, Mountain Biking, Bicycle Hire, etc
Whether you bring your own bike or hire
when you get to the area, cycling holidays can be great
fun and allow you to really get to know the area.
On
organised holiday, you can stay in different
accommodation each night and your luggage can be
transported for you.
Mountain Biking is becoming
increasingly popular allowing you to get off the beaten
track away from all the traffic.
Bicycle Hire shops and cycling holiday
companies in the Gloucester and The Forest of Dean area should be listed here
but we know that many are probably missing.

At Forest
Adventure, we can accommodate groups for
any occasion, whether it be a stag or
hen-do, birthday party or a group of
friends on a weekend away.
Our choice of activities caters for everyone
from the novice to the experienced. The Wye Valley
is Canoe Country! - We paddle the most scenic
stretches of the river, from placid water to
turbulent rapids. Your instructor will brief you
on kayak/canoe control, and safety procedures. You
will be taught flat water skills and moving water
techniques, all combined with a lot of fun and
games! Maybe train towards your star awards - a
national award system accredited by the British
Canoe Union. Canoe & Bivouac Weekends - An all
inclusive river safari from Hoarwithy to Monmouth
- a magical and memorable experience and the very
spirit of adventure!
RAFT BUILDING (Water Based) - Using
barrels, poles, paddles, buoyancy aids and
helmets, the group constructs a raft of their own
design with the encouragement of our instructors.
The success of the raft is tested whilst the
instructor supervises from a kayak or canoe as a
safety boat. These sessions are run by a British
Canoe Union Level 2 or Level 3 Coach.
This centre which was formerly the site of
Cannop Colliery, is the ideal place to begin
your cycling day out. It is the starting point for the Forest of Dean
Family Cycle Trail which consists of twelve
miles of waymarked, surfaced tracks, most of
which are on former railway lines.
Friendly club. Regular leisure rides (road &
mountain bike) for enjoyment and fitness whatever
your age. Plus road racing, time trailing and
mountain bike racing (cross country & downhill).
Like most bike clubs the main reason for joining
was to have others to race with at all the mtb
events, which made up the majority of the riding
back then.
