where to shred like slugger

Want to ride the same trails as Marc? Check out these spots Pearce Cycles run uplift days and races on some of the iconic West Midlands tracks that Marc grew up riding – head over to www.pearce cycles.co.uk for more info. Hopton Woods’ Pearce XC trail is a great bit of natural-feeling singletrack that’s been hand-cut by local volunteers. Check out issue 326 of the mag for our take on these trails. Bringewood, Hopton and Bucknell all have downhill tracks that you can ride any time – bring your walking legs, because you’ll need to push up. There are loads of local bridleways, so grab yourself a map and follow your nose – you’re bound to stumble across something rad!
