This event has been postponed until further notice! We visited Mudtrek three times in 2012 and it’s one of our favourite places to stay for mountain biking weekends. We’ve got two ride weekends there in 2013 (March & October). We got talking to Jay and Nikki after a long ride and somehow ended up volunteering

This was originally supposed to be a half day spent moving material with Pete’s Land Rover (reg: M00 aka Daisy). The idea was that we shouldn’t exert ourselves too much the day before a club ride. It never works out like that though and we rarely leave the trail before it’s dark… Things began at

Our problems were caused by us referring the grey material that we had been using as “crushed concrete”. It wasn’t; it was actually Limestone chippings. Both suppliers were very understanding and sorted out a mess of our

The original aim was to spend the weekend finishing the new Red loop. However, things didn’t go to plan. The 20 tonne delivery of crushed concrete turned out to be more like demolition waste. This would be ideal for the hardcore base of a track, but not suitable to surface a mountain bike trail. It
