Photos from an evening ride with Marlborough bike shop Bertie Maffoons. We covered 17 miles round Savernake Forest in just over 2 hours. There’s a lot more trail in there than you might expect. Definitely the best sections were the slightly downhill swoopy bits. We’ll be back for more soon. Keep an eye on the
