Dyemill Bike Park

Description

Dyemill Bike Park is situated in Arran, Scotland and launched in the summer of 2024. There is an intermediate blue-grade flow trail, an advanced red trail, a pump track, and a jump line.

Red Trail and Jump Line

• The red trail drops down around the South side of the Summit with a series of turns into the start of the jump line. 
• The jump line extends between the red and blue trails to a progressive set of jumps suitable for developing skills and decent airtime for advanced riders.
• The lower red descent splits from the start of the jump line to create a feature-rich trail incorporating any natural rocks and features available finishing close to the pond area on the shared finish trail.

Blue Trail

• The intermediate blue trail starts from the climb below the summit knoll. This is designed to be a flow-style descent trail. 

Blue and Red Finish Section

• The trails all combine into a final finish section that passes around the East side of the pond.
• The last part of this is widened to 2m to allow 2-way traffic to the pond area.
• This combined trail allows the main trails to be focused further up the hill where the ground conditions, elevation and topography allow them to build more trails in subsequent phases.

Pump Track

• Dyemill includes a Velosolutions-built asphalt pump track set in the woods beside the main hub. It runs to around 110 m with an additional 40 m split line, giving riders a choice of flow or progression laps. The surface is smooth with well-shaped rollers and berms.

Other Stuff

• It was made possible through the Sport Scotland Cycling Facilities Fund, Scottish Cycling and DMBinS
• This is the first phase of the project so expect more to come.
• There is a public access defibrillator installed as well as a critical injury pack
• Adjacent to their open shelter they have a Park Tool THS 1.2 Trail Head Workstation and Saris Infrastructure outdoor public bike pump
