Unlocking Aston Hill Mountain Bike Area
Following a
meeting between the Forestry Commission, CTC - the UK’s national cyclists’
organisation and Aston Hill Mountain Bikers (the mountain bike club based on
Aston Hill) the future of Aston Hill Mountain Bike Area is looking more
certain.
Aston Hill Mountain Bikers Chairman Richard Abbott said “while I can’t say too much, as there’s a lot to get organised, things are looking encouraging” Meanwhile Aston Hill Mountain Bikers and the Forestry Commission ask riders to be patient. Richard reiterated “using the Aston Hill while it’s closed will only cause more problems for the future. We need to work with the Forestry Commission and CTC to get everything in place, so we can get the trails on Aston Hill re-opened as soon as possible”.

... The famous Hill has been temporarily shut since December as talks with the Forestry commission move forward for the new club led by chairman Richard Abbot working with Ian from the CTC progress talks. Buckingham bikes are no longer on the scene nor managing the lease. It's clear the club are gearing up for a demo day in April which is a positive sign and hopefully iBikeRide will be there. Frankly like many I miss the place. Richard who is the chairman of the club is a good guy and I'm confident they will be moving again soon. |
