Race Tracks
See the Tracks Guide for map and detailed trail information
Shimano Track
As one of the most popular tracks in the park, “Rock and Roll” has had a freshen up, and the club is telling us its riding great. There are some technical sections but all have B lines. 1.4km long and descending 100m
Bomber Track
New to the park in 2024 “Booker” has been purposely built to be a fun flow track. Some flatter section means maintaining speed will be important. 1.5km long and descends 100m
Sendy Track
For a pedal stage Jolly Nose has a lot to choose from so we have looked for the most fun and we found “Grom Hill”. Head up using “5+5 KT” into the “Backside” before the fun descent of “Grom Hill”.. 1.4km long and descending 25m
