Hello every one !

I've currently taken over Spirthill Trails, We are rebuilding the whole site with 2 DH tracks with off camber, rooty, jumps and gaps (with more tracks to come!) and a whole new XC tracks with lots of nice fast single track, climbs and drops as well as northshore.

I'm hoping to hold some DH and XC events here so i'll keep you posted !

Please let me know if your interested to come and check it out WHEN where open, hopefully in 2-3 months, also any sugestions what you would like ?

be good to get some more trails not too far away. hope the work goes well. suggestion wise: trail length, easy push up, good drainage tracks with flow. I think northshore should be used sparingly and only where necessary IMO. good luck, look forward to racing there!

thanks for the sugestions (i'm not a big fan of northshore), we should have the web site up by next week with pics so you can see what we've done so far.

there was a web site but i thought it was rubbish, the tracks sould be ready to go in two months, so i'll put the web addresse and location up soon.

Thanks for the support.

At the moment the XC is about 6km long and there will be x2 DH runs wich will be about 1min and 1.5min long. All tracks are gonna be fast and flowing at the moment but i will be changing them over time.

All comments are welcome. I'm having to rush things a bit because the owner of the land wants to get this place open asap ! So please bare with us and we will try to make a good fun plce to ride.
