May 23, 2024,Forest of dean Runde von Monmouth

Short training ride, first up the mountain on small roads. It's not rocket science, but it does require a certain amount of basic training on the mountain, then down through the forest on a narrow path. MTB necessary here for the not easy descent to Staunton Road, if necessary push the bike for about a km.
