Not enough likes for these guys in the world, the work they do and the trails and facilities they create are really special. Even going so far as moulding World Champs and up and coming WC  racers (Billy Pugh for example).

But it's more that they've built something for absolutely EVERYONE there... it's a fantastic place.

Really good to see these guys commended - FoD is an amazing place to ride and brilliantly maintained by the DT Volunteers.

It's great to see a group like this, who have spent so much time and effort building these trails, be recognised.

I've only had the opportunity to ride at the FoD a couple of times and have thoroughly enjoyed their work every time, and this is well deserved.

Do they receive any more substantial reward for this other than just the recognition? Although I'm sure that is really welcome I'm sure that something more physical such as funding would be appreciated more.

Proud to have done a few digs with them in the past! Absolutely love living in the FOD and they've done a stellar job all round.

That's great to see. I've only recently ridden in the FOD in the last couple of months since our son and his partner moved up to the  Hereford area. A great place to ride and lovely trails. They're doing a terrific job. Can't wait to get back up there in a weeks time.
