Description
Malls Mire Pump Track, also known as Toryglen Pump Track, is an asphalt pump track of about 110 m in Malls Mire Park on Glasgow's south side. Velosolutions built it as an entry-level track for beginners and improvers, a gentler first step than the larger Cathkin Braes pump track a few kilometres away.
The Track
The track is a single asphalt loop of flowing S-berms and 180-degree berms, with some choice of line, so you can pump round it without pedalling and build balance, rhythm and speed. Velosolutions laid a custom asphalt mix designed to stay smooth but grippy in the wet. There is room for bikes, scooters and balance bikes, and rest areas beside the track where riders can gather and learn from each other.
Also in the Park
Malls Mire Park is a 16 hectare woodland park built on former derelict ground. Alongside the pump track it has an outdoor gym, two play areas, open grass, a wetland and a nature reserve, linked by lit paths for walkers and cyclists, so it suits a family outing as well as a pump track session. For the bigger riding nearby, the Cathkin Braes and Area 69 Mountain Bike Trails have a graded trail network with their own Velosolutions pump track and skills area.
Getting Here
The track is in Malls Mire Park, off Prospecthill Road in Toryglen, Glasgow G42 0AE. Park paths lead to it from Prospecthill Road, and the lit path network makes the park easy to reach by bike or on foot.
