Trail Building Dates and Locations
Plean Country Park
Starting from Monday 6th May we would like as many people
as possible to come along to the park to help create some
amazing singletrack. A lot of the track has now been built
but is needing finished. We will meet at the car park for
7:00pm and work for about 1 and a half hours. Come by bike
or car, we will be working closely with the Park Rangers on
this as they are keen to get some quality cycle tracks in
the park to encourage more users. Click here
to find out a bit more or leave your name as an interested
volunteer. Directions in the form of a Streetmap page to the
car park at the country park, can be found here.
There is a discussion board on this website,
