QECP Dig Days – Snakebite Red Route

The QECP Trail Collective are pushing to finish Snakebite before winter, with a string of Saturday dig days lined up.  It could be done on the next one coming, it seems. Down to volunteer numbers.  The next sessions are 1 Nov, 15 Nov, 6 Dec, and 13 Dec — all running until around 1 pm. Bring gloves, sturdy footwear, water, and a mug for tea break. 

Ride Sheffield is almost ready to reopen Cooking on Gas! The team’s running a final fettle session on Sat 1 Nov @ 9:30 AM before cutting the ribbon. Volunteers welcome — sign up via Eventbrite and lend a hand. If you can’t make it, the Trail Fund’s open for donations to keep the flow alive at Lady Cannings.

• Whippendell Woods’ new mountain bike trail area officially opens on Wednesday, 29th October at 1 pm, with a ribbon-cutting by Peter Taylor, Mayor of Watford.
• The new, free-to-use facility replaces the informal woodland trails previously removed to protect the surrounding SSSI, and was developed in partnership with Watford Borough Council and Bike Park Chilterns. It’s the area’s first fully sanctioned trail zone, designed to encourage responsible riding and community connection.
• Built by the Whippy Trails team with grant support, the site offers a progressive, family-friendly environment for riders of all levels — a big step forward for local off-road access in Watford
