Joseph Ó Ruagáin:
Fun in the city that scratches that itch (a little)
The MTB routes are plentiful and developing. you have to remember that this is an urban centre, much like redbridge however there are some stark differences. LVVP offers a wide range of runs. from beginner friendly twisty, bermy trails, to small rock gardens, drops and technical decents. The red runs hold a fair challenge and the blacks vary from short technical A lines to quite technical drops and short decents. WHat makes it more challenging is the abundance of rocks (mostly rubble and hardcore) that could made a fall painful.
As a skills development centre close to the city it is good, but it is not an expansive trail experience to rival Swinley or Bedgebury, however it is step us from other "urban" facilities in the area.
What do you like?
Fast flowing trails
Good selection of technical features
