Clayton Vale MTB Trails

Considering this is close to Manchester City centre this is a great place to build skills and confidence. However, even though some of the red and black parts of the trail have recently been resurfaced there is still a fair amount of the trails that get neglected. I know there has been some efforts made however I have noticed more electric Suron type bike ripping up the trails and general disregard of care by the locals throwing rubbish everywhere and even adding features to the trail that make some of the drops alittle more dangerous then should for the grading of the trails! The orange section hasn’t been touched in years and is overgrown and doesn’t appear to get riden much. There are also some once upon a time fun blue bits but these have become overgrown with brambles and other vegetation which give you some arm rash! However in general this is a good place to get away from the city without the massive hike to the hills, would say there is something for everyone here but it’s more of a flow trail/mini XC loop.

Location the fact that it exists just wish it was used alittle more in sections and more visibility of volunteering to help maintain the trail and Clayton Vale in general
