Middle Trail - Black
- The Middle downhill trail isn’t for novices and runs from the top of the Cavehill down through the park. The trail has a hand-built feel and is around 700 meters in length.
- So, it starts at the very top near the caves. There are a couple of qualifying jumps at the start that test the biker's skill level, if they're getting over those, the rest of the trail just flows. People can go as fast as they'd like. It consists of jumps, drops, and berms.
Other Stuff
- The local club is Cavehill Mountain Bike club.
- The trail was constructed by hand, using natural materials to best preserve the local environment and protect biodiversity in the park.
- It will be maintained by the Cavehill MTB club made easier through the use of a specially designed app that can be accessed by scanning QR codes along the trail and marking down any issues or concerns.
