Follow the Dog, Cannock Chase

[molineux1980]

Anyone here ever use it? Went over for the 1st time on Sunday, on my old Muddy Fox. What a buzz! I was worried bout holding people up, but did ok, didn't fall off, despite clipping a tree with my shoulder! I though I was fit (play alot of football), but my biking fitness was rubbish! Oh well, can't wait to get over there again.

Not ridden Cannock for a few years, FTD look excellent from the website.

Yeah it's a right laugh... I know what you mean about hitting trees with your shoulders!! It gets a bit tight in some parts!!

It's only about 7 miles round, but feels like twice that! Some great high speed hang-on tight sections, mixed in with more technical bits. Good fun.

There I certainly some sections where you come out the other side thinking "how did I manage that!"

done it many times, and it's what really started me off on the obsession. I believe they are making another trial but will use a different area of the chase. Seems to be taking a while though as it's being built by vollys at weekends.

I just hope it doesnt get too popular, as the trails take a beating as it is!

yes, I like the trail, especially the combination of surfaces/climbs/downhills/technical sections - mind you my 9 yr old son managed a few sections last Friday!
