Description
Moston Road Pump Track is on Moston Road in the Sundorne area of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, in the council-owned Moston Road Recreation Ground beside the playgrounds. Built by Clark and Kent Contractors, it is an asphalt pump track: a compact loop of rollers and berms that rewards flow and good technique over pedalling.
The Track
The track is a continuous asphalt loop of rollers and berms, laid out so riders can keep their speed by pumping with their bodies rather than pedalling. Its builder describes it as family-friendly, for cyclists, scooter riders and skaters of all skill levels.
