Trail Watch is live: every UK MTB build and threat, in one place

We've just launched Trail Watch, a new page tracking UK mountain bike venues on the move, from planning approval through to opening day, alongside the trails currently facing a real threat of closure.

On the builds side you'll find everything from pump tracks to full trail centres: Ride Ness Bike Park's newly granted planning permission at Glendoe, Richmond Bike Park's community build working toward a soft opening this year, 4,650 metres of new trail taking shape at Orkney's Pickaquoy Centre, and rebuilds in progress at Woburn, Aston Hill and CafesideMTB.

On the threat side, we're tracking Warley Bike Park, Hodgemoor Woods, Danny Hart's Descend Bike Park and Shamblewood Trials Bike Park, each with a plain summary of where things stand and a link through to the full story.

It's updated roughly fortnightly, so bookmark it and check back for the latest
