The Bedford Estates is taking back management of Aspley Woods and Woburn Bike Park from 1 December 2025, and has teamed up with Matt Jones to design what he calls the “ultimate official bike park.”
Matt’s plan is to reshape Woburn into a structured, year-round facility with progression lines for every rider — from wide, flowy beginner tables to full-scale pro jump lines. The bike park will close this winter (2025/26) for essential forestry work, before construction begins on a new setup set to open in 2026.
Focus Rides are offering two great race series next season that aim to be inclusive, fun and open to riders of all bikes and levels. First up is the Winter XC series at Sherwood Pines, followed by the Peaks Enduro series spanning Barlow and Hope Valley.

Across the UK, pump tracks have gone from niche to everywhere — over 170 now listed on iBikeRide, part of a wave that’s reshaped local riding over the past decade. From compact community loops to floodlit forest builds, they’ve become one of the most accessible ways to ride, roll, and progress.
New listings this week span Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland — including Killinchy, Dromara, Páirc Nua Chollann, Temple Cloud, Kennoway, Alton, Ellon, Dalbeattie, Beach Park Pump Track and Jumps, and more.
