Description

Middleden Trails sit in Middleden Woods, directly across from Kirkcaldy High School in Kirkcaldy, Fife. A tight network of short green, blue and red graded singletrack links together with orange-graded dirt jumps and a pump track, adding up to around 5km of riding when you piece the sections together, everything from a first family loop to a proper flowing red run. The volunteer-run Middleden Mountain Bike Club looks after the site and runs coached sessions here.

The Trails

  • The Revolver (Green): a short, mellow trail through the trees, a good first taste of mountain biking for family groups and complete beginners.
  • Pistol Whip (Blue): flowing singletrack that climbs gently through the forest to a low boardwalk section before dropping back down.
  • Take Aim (Blue): a short stretch of singletrack off the same multi-use path as Pistol Whip, with its own low boardwalk.
  • The Barrell Roll (Blue): faster and more open than the other blue trails, with berms, tight corners and a water feature.
  • Get A Grip (Red): twisty, with dips and short climbs, kicking off close to the green trail.
  • Trigger Trail (Red): more technical, with drop-offs, roots and a boardwalk section.
  • The Deer Track (Red): short climbs and rolling singletrack on the way back towards the car park.
  • Pump track and dirt jumps: an orange-graded pump track plus three dirt jumps for skills work.

The sections link together in different combinations rather than as one signed loop, so download a route or use GPS navigation before you set off.

Local Organisation

Middleden Mountain Bike Club is the volunteer, British Cycling affiliated club based at the trails. It runs coached sessions for young riders and adult club runs, and posts session times and trail updates on its Facebook page.
