We were previously informed that it would not be possible to ride the Olympic MTB course at Hadley Farm, until after many of the best features had been removed for safety reasons.
However, good news, it has now been announced that the trail is to be opened up for guided rides, before the adaptations to the trails have been completed.
Only sufficently competent MTB'ers will be allowed to join the guided rides, and their definition of a sufficiently competent MTB'er is someone who has ridden a black-graded trail before at a UK trail centre.
I have put in an application for an RCC group of riders to be allowed to join one of these guided rides.
