Pump track at Thornbridge Outdoors

Bike Trails

Onsite we have an 850m bike and trike trail which is an easy loop around the grounds with a gentle gradient; it is suitable for young children.  This leads onto a pump track with a skills area to practice bike control and increase confidence when on a biking session with one of our instructors.  In the woods we have a technical rock garden for the more advanced cyclist (to be used with a qualified coach only).
