Temple Newsam Trails
Temple Newsam is a mountain bike trail built in conjuction with Leeds city council in 2004/2005. The track is perfect for learning on at the same time as been challenging for experienced riders to 'let rip' on! It could be described as a cross breed of mountinbiking disciplines.
It's got a bit of downhill, 4x and dual all thrown into about 40 seconds of track. The whole thing is built on a downhill, theres a 'log-drop' section, some large tabletops, some tight twisty corners, some with small berms and some with big berms and everything is hardpacked like a bmx track. The result is one very fast, grippy, flowing and major fun track! Theres even an easy push back up which you could easily ride back up!
