The community encourages folk to come along and ride with them in the Forest with a mixture of rides of varying mileage and pace to suit all abilities. Super friendly, encouraging and fun group.
I wouldn’t change anything?

I had a wonderful ride with the NFORC last week. It was so supportive, chill and fun. We had a great café stop and wonderful route. There were such a variety of people and bikes - even a tandem - which made for some great conversations and a lot of fun!
Nothing!!

The variety of rides, pace, distance and times. The friendly welcoming nature of the riders its always like riding with friends and making new friends.
I honestly can't think of anything that can be improved on

Introduced me to the world of off-road cycling. I love that they offer gentle paced rides for everyone; and clearly advertised faster rides for when you’re wanting something more energetic.
Rides are based on leader availability, rather than a set time/place. This adds variety but can make it harder for some people to plan.

Agree that the cycling club gets more people cycling for sport and/or racing.
