Ard Rock 2026 entries go LIVE 30th November at 7 PM!
A mountain bike festival running 24–26 July 2026, with riding, racing, expo stands, camping, demo loops, food, music and community activity across the Reeth event village.
Forte Trailscapes are on-site in St Austell with shaping now well underway. The latest aerial shows the full asphalt line emerging, with machinery still active around the perimeter as works continue. No opening date has been announced yet, but the build is clearly moving through its final surfacing stages.
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.
Our pick? Woodland Wheels Pump Track at Boat of Garten in Badenoch and Strathspey — a stunning setting in the pines, lit for night sessions (see pic above) 🌲💡
The growth shows no sign of slowing, with dig crews like Velosolutions, On Track, and others keeping the momentum rolling.

Nevis Range have an epic line-up of biking events for 2026 — all set in the heart of the Scottish Highlands
🚀 Oakley’s Beach Park has a fresh setup — a full pump track circuit plus a new dual-lane jump line right alongside it. The layout lets riders choose between flow and airtime, making it a standout community build. Positioned next to the skatepark off Station Road, the design doubles the riding options without doubling the footprint — a solid model for future local projects.
The S4P bike park is now closed for winter maintenance, beginning earlier this week. The crew expects the closure to last a minimum of four weeks while essential work is carried out. Updates will be posted on their socials as progress continues 👷♂️🛠️
