- This loop consists of 2 red tracks known as Pub Run and Steel City (which has a Black opt-in) and one black called DH3 (big rollable jumps and a steep section). The whole loop is connected by a red bridleway.
- The loop is 5.3km long in total consisting of the red at 3.7km and the black which is 1.7km long.
Wharncliffe Woods
- Wharncliffe Woods are across the road from Greno Woods and are less maintained and not waymarked so best to hook up with a local. There are numerous downhill runs. The Downhill area is steep, rocky, and technical. Some of the famous runs are Vajazzle, Carling Tree, Jump Track, Varsity, Truffle Shuffle, Fast Track, Nemba, No Human, and The Dogs Bollocks.
- There is an old 16km technical XC trail that is in a poor condition but on a dry day, you can put most bits of it together. To get to it you come right out of the back of the car park and the trail starts on your right.
