You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get from the top to the bottom (expert speed) at Forest of Dean?
I can see videos on youtube of around 1min but maybe if the tracks follow on from each other - then maybe its longer?
Also what is the "real" push up time with a DH bike?
Cheers

Its 0.6 miles and 300ft of climbing
Took me 13 mins last time at a slow pedal
However someone appears to have done it in 3.44 mins 😯
...and someone else took over an hour 😳
...and 1 to 3 mins to get down depending on how mad you are
Assume we are talking about the main DH tracks rather than finding/going down the other options (ie some of the slightly more off-piste Enduro trails) then it's probably 2 min down and 10 min up on average. You can ride most of the push up, even on a DH bike, just walking the two short steeper bits.
To actually push up it's about 15 mins, it's even on Strava...

And to get back down 1.5 to 2 mins depending on route, at an average DH'ers pace
Thanks all.
Fairly short runs then - fairly similar to my local riding at Aston.
Decided to go to Revolution again instead 🙂
If you start from the Grey mound the runs are longer.
