Mountain bike trails
The trail features flowing berms and progressive jumps, built with the woodland’s native gravel and clay subsoil to blend naturally into the landscape.
Clear signage and selective fencing help protect wildlife and guide riders, creating a safe, sustainable and welcoming space for everyone.
You can ride free of charge, no membership or ticket needed. Just turn up and enjoy the trails, with daylight hours recommended for safety.
You can find out more at whippytrails.com, including a map of the trails.
Coaching and volunteering
In partnership with Bike Park Chilterns CIC, the facility will offer free group coaching sessions and private coaching.
There will also be opportunities for residents to get involved through an active volunteer base supporting inspections, maintenance and community events.
Coaching will be delivered through Bike Park Chilterns CIC by Firecrest Mountain Bike Coaching, whose programmes are recognised by British Cycling for developing talented young riders.
