Uni Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Huddlepark at the top of linksfield road is coming soon. Went to check it out yesterday - just riding around the areas that are not golf course - very excited about it - it should be good. Right now there's no trails as such so you make your own and you have to deal with a lot of hard burned grass and pine cones - which i learned that if you hit a big one head on, pine cone wins but considering the other facilities they have there I think it's going to be a good one - will wait and see if you have to take up a membership or if you can just pay to ride. Will have to see what they do with the people walking their dogs though. The rule is they should be on leads but yesterday as we were heading back to the parking, I noticed a couple walking with 5 dogs, 2 were large bull mastiff types and I noticed the one noticing me and then it came running at me - my partner told me just keep going, fortunately it stopped about 2m from me and then just barked and ran off. but great to have so many options close by. The Vale Rocks!!!! Edited September 16, 2013 by Uni

kosmonooit Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Linksfield Ridge has massive potential for am type trails that could upstage anything VG or Groenies has to offer, any trail blazers here? got a few routes in mind.

CAAD4 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Some if us still have the mental scars... Good luck with the event.
