Lincolnshire Wolds Bike Park

John, the organiser, wants to share some exciting news about the Lincolnshire Wolds Bike Park, situated in Horncastle. It’s a fantastic spot for all off-road cycling enthusiasts, catering to everyone from toddlers to professional cyclists.

The park includes a cross-country and cyclo-cross course, trails graded from blue to black, a learn-to-ride pump track, accessible trails, and even a skills area with dirt jump facilities. There’s something for every level of rider, making it a perfect place for both beginners and seasoned cyclists.

John also points out that for those who may not be into cycling, there's a modern, environmentally friendly visitor centre and café where you can enjoy the stunning views of the Lincolnshire Wolds while having a refreshment. At the visitor centre, you'll find a bike shop and bike hire station, offering both e-bikes and standard mountain bikes. Additionally, there’s an on-site classroom available for hire, ideal for cycling tuition or other events.

The park takes full advantage of the hilly terrain of the Lincolnshire Wolds to provide interesting and challenging trails. It’s set in a woodland area, with efforts to boost biodiversity through planting local flora.

John particularly emphasises how the park promotes healthier lifestyles with the mental and physical benefits of outdoor sports. It also encourages visitors to appreciate and care for the natural environment. It’s a great place for families and friends to cycle together, serving as a hub for the local cycling community.

By establishing this park, John aims to make the sport more accessible, reducing anti-social behaviour, creating rural employment, and boosting the local economy. It offers a safe and managed environment for cyclists to enjoy their sport.

The park has found an ideal site and a planning application has been submitted to the East Lindsey District Council. John is seeking community support and encourages everyone to share their comments of support.
