The Bell Ride Free show rolled into the Forest of Dean for a day with the amazing Flyup uplift team for what has now become an annual pilgrimage. The premise is simple... Spend the marketing budget to give something back to the riders.

Bell booked up the whole uplift for the entire day allowing 200 or so riders the opportunity to ride the FOD's amazing trails with one of the best uplift crews in the UK, and best of all, it was free all day! Throw in a raffle and hide some golden tickets that can be exchanged for a free helmet of your choosing and you have a top day out. The rain stayed away and I saw nothing but smiles all day...

 Amazing day!
Awsome bellridefree event as always, drivers were top class and couldn't help enough.
Yes there were long que's but it's to be expected being a free event!
Loved it and looking forward to the next #bellridefree

 Thanks to the guys at Zyro for putting on a good day.

First time at FOD and I enjoyed it. Already plotting a return visit!

Did anyone else think that the uplift was a bit overwhelmed / a tad slow? Maybe it's just because I'm used to Antur, which is super quick.

 Don't Diss the Fod uplift !! Antur is really quick though.
Not happy with Bell, bought a Full9 carbon for the Alps, it squeaks so much i've returned it, anyone else experienced this ?

 @pigman65: ha ha. The guys doing it were sound, the queues were just a bit long.

 @mindmap3: normally for the FOD uplift only runs with 17 people on per bus, so with 100+ people booked on for the day with 2 vans it would have definitely been a tad slow!

I work at the centre and the guys from flyup usually do 15 runs a day for the normal uplift day!
