I dug this up over @ Jabroide

http://www.jab-ride.co.uk/olympic-park-mtb-trails/
http://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/en/con ... velo-park/

It may well be old news but has anyone else got any more details on the skills area etc? A really nice pumptrack would be the best thing they could build there something along the lines of the new one in Zurich

... but I bet you it going to be totally XC focussed.

Might end up similar to cyclopark in Kent - place looks alright, if a little barren. just needs 30 years of trees!

Looking forward to this, i have recently bagged a job on the ex-athletes village at the olympic park.

between this and the new snow dome my lunchtimes are set for quite some time!

will be good to bring biking back to the area, i used to live ten mins up the road and rode here loads in my teenage years when it was Eastway cycle centre.

Can't see the XC being much as its flat in Stratford, or unless they truck in a hill of mud and rubble...

Hahahahaha almost chocked then...

It'll be a very long time before this place is finished, hey they may even have the Stratford place built and settled in before any Joe public gets to turn a wheel at Hadleigh...
