ISLE OF WIGHT MOUNTAIN BIKE CENTRE

TRAIL STATS

Distance: Multiple 0.5 1.5km descents, which can be linked into a longer 4 4.5km loop Climbing: Surfaced and natural climbing/push-up tracks Time: 30secs to 1min 30secs per run Grading: Green, blue, red, black

WHY RIDE HERE?

A mix of everything from mellow jumps to massive booters, with a choice of descents on each hill of the loop allowing mixed-ability groups to shred together

RAD…

More of a ‘proper ride’ feel than your typical bike park, with trails spread across three valleys and singletrac­k through the farmland linking them together

With co-founder Sam Hodgson’s pro rider expertise, everything that’s been built so far flows really well and naturally keeps your speed in check

BAD…

There’s not an enormous amount here so far, to justify the trip across the sea, but a lot more will be ready for spring/summer 2022 The park is only open from April to the end of October. Not all the trails have an all-weather surface and others go into the shooting estate, meaning they’re off-limits for part of the year
