this is my local riding area and im pretty pleased as work is already underway, it says in the article there maybe feasibility into building a technical course for mtb's!!

i have just been up there this morning and i dont know whether it is just me and an over active imagination it looks to me like they are building a mini supercross like course!!

i have been known to be wrong before tho :oops:

    There is a perk to living in the hills you know, there are downs as well as ups (although I will admit sometimes it doesn't feel like it :roll: ).

    Was down there on Friday between Stoneclough and the prison. My local "easy" riding area.
    Is there any maps available showing the extent of the improvements?
