Help build new private trails – earn free ride days!
Peak District MTB has been offered a fantastic opportunity to support the development of a brand‑new set of private trails at the Barlow Hounds venue near Owler Bar, part of the growing Peak Enduro Series network.
Kev Smith and the team will be on site week commencing 16th February with a digger, shaping fresh lines and building new features , and they’re inviting riders who want to get stuck in and help create something special.
Why get involved?
This is true dig in, ride out trail building.
For every dig day you put in, you’ll earn a free ride day on the new trails once they open.
It’s a great way to:
- contribute directly to the trails you’ll get to ride
- help shape features and influence how the tracks develop
- build early community ownership and support
- be part of something new before anyone else gets to ride it
Kev has said he is also open to some co–design of trail, saying ‘if diggers spot a good section or have an idea for a feature, there’s room for creativity as long as it works with the overall build.’
Race entries aren’t part of the exchange, as event costs are high, but the dig‑day ride‑day offer is a generous and fair way to reward volunteers.
When?
Week commencing 16th February, and ongoing as the build progresses.
Where?
Barlow Hounds, near Owler Bar – Full details will be provided once you register interest.
