Daisybank dig weekender 2012
Big thanks to all who turned up to repair Daisybank dirt jumps this weekend. It was an epic couple of days of dirt moving and packing in. I still cannot quite believe how much we achieved and how good the summer is going to be riding up there.
Buckholt Wood riding agreement
Last Friday (March 23rd) representatives from Cheltenham & County CC and Bigfoot MBC reached what we considered as a workable riding agreement with Natural England and the forestry manager
Cheltenham & County and Bigfoot MBC hit Ribbesford
With our two clubs having recently collaborated in trying to negotiate the return of mountain biking to Buckholt Woods we furthered this partnership with a superb gravity riding day at the downhill trails near to Ribbesford

Daisybank dig weekender 2012
First DB jump video of the year
Daisybank needs you! - Updated
It is the time of year to put a bit of work in at Daisybank dirt jumps. Last year a few evenings work provided lots of airtime and progression of skills.
This year the plan is to fix some of the drainage issues and profile the final berm. Repair and lip treat the 2nd table line. The double line will be finished into a 6 pack. If there is time we would also like to tame the novice line a little. Conditions are great at the moment so lets go up and sort it!
A few people will be up there from6pm on Thursday 8th April 4.30pm Friday 16th April, until dark. Come along if you want to help or want to make your own suggestions. Everyone welcome as it is not a club site.
Bring whatever equipment you have in your digging armoury.
These are a few snaps of the work so far. We did get more done but the lack of light prevented more photos.
The new kicker for the 1st on the double line
The start of the kicker for the second kicker and the lengthened 2nd table.
The lengthened final table and the start of the new hip line off it into the tight berm (cheers to the lads who suggested and started it)
The new freeride wheelbarrow in action.

Daisybank Dirt Jumps
CC-CC have been actively involved in the resurrection of the Dirt Jump site in Daisybank Fields (Leckhampton). The site is open for anyone to ride but we all need to work together on new developments there.
If you want to dig new jumps we will support you all the way, just contact us or the Cheltenham Borough Council (Wayne is very friendly) Wayne.Sedgwick@cheltenham.gov.uk
