• Seems relevant to this thread: Anyone know much about the olympic park off-road trail? I never usually go out that way but have been riding round on hackney marshes on my State-Sanctioned Daily Unit of Exercise during less busy times of day and saw the entrance to the trail and was more than a little tempted to have a nip round it. Never got round to trying it in the pre-covid days and I didn't realise it would be so easy to get onto without having to go through any barriers etc. Do many people just go up and use it without paying when it's closed?

  • There's a few things to note.

    It's far from grippy on the tight corners, so watch your front wheel.
    It's more technical than fun & you'll need trials skills to ride the whole thing.
    For manmade trails there are a few strategically placed trees.
    Don't lose your footing on the 12" wide descents.
    Do ride the off piste climb and descent by the tunnel.
    Be mindful that the decking bridge is a deathtrap when wet.
    Hopefully the bike wash is available.

  • thanks for the heads up. sounds like some bits might be a bit too gnarly for my 80s muddy fox and don't fancy putting myself in hospital at the moment!
