- We had heard a lot of things about the mountain biking at Smilog woods but never managed to get over until now. We're super glad we did because it's an awesome place with a really cool selection of trails. We'll be going back again soon that's for sure!
We're just your average mountain bikers mountain biking in the Forest of Dean and beyond, exploring all sorts of trails - XC, Enduro, Downhill!
I ride a Geometron G1 and she rides a Scott Ransom. Check out our Instagram for more:

A good day was had! 👌😎
Have never been but it looks great! Awesome job on the vid Mate 👍
The woods are a fav spot for many but dishes the dirt on my parody of an enduro rider as I've had a fair share of offies in there. I applaud you all for riding those in the wet. I tend to play safe and ride the XC loop through the forest and then follow up along the Glamorganshire ridge line which goes by the rocky outcrop with the Welsh word Cariad carved into the cliff face (good photo op) and pass-by the wind farm for a decent 40k loop with about 800m of elev gain. On a clear day, views along the coast and over to the Mendips. But then I'm more XC/ Trail and to some, may not float their boats.
That XC loop sounds really great, will have to check it out! And yeah I was surprised at how well the trails held up in the wet. The conditions weren't too bad but it definitely doesn't feel like the summer any more!
This place looks brilliant some nice drops there. Cool edit dude 🫡🔥🏴
Yeah it's a really cool place, definitely want to go back!
Not been here yet mate. On my list 100% nice riding bud
Yeah it's really cool place, feels different than FOD in a great way, I really want to go back too!
Did you notice that the more runs you did the faster you was getting 👍good on you !!
Yeah I did! Combination of it being our first time there and the conditions being a little wet in places made us less confident to begin with but we found our stride eventually!
You should have a go of those small jumps in you crash you end up in the bracken with a mouth full of grass no big deal great video tho 👍👍👍
Yeah I mostly skip jumps the first time down trails, but when we go back we'll scope them out for sure!
How did u find the other trails ??
We were with people who had been before so knew their way around 👍
When we're you guys there?
Couple of weekends ago, seems like we both had the same idea 😂
Where in South Wales is this track
Smaelog forest....llantrisant south wales
there are more trails at Barry sidings which isnt far away from there about 6 miles and Tyn Y Coed which is about 3-4 miles away from there. Tyn Y Coed is a bit more mellow Barry sidings is steep and gnarly some real scary stuff there
Yeah I really want to check out Barry Sidings, it looks awesome
