Hadleigh Park

I coach at Hadleigh and it's a great place to ride and coach. Brilliant features to build skill on, not sure you'll find man made features like it anywhere in the UK.

Good points:

Hadleigh park is great for fitness building with its hills and if you work it right you can session some of the features. Makes a great coaching venue for teaching riders as well.

Bad points:

The hills, if you aren't that fit our don't ride much it's hard work and can take the enjoyment out of it.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Would recommend this place to anyone but have to remind you that it's not easy here and to wear a crash helmet!!

Good points:

Tough, twisty, fun and a decent workout. An all weather location with Stunning estuary views. Loads of other trails near it too. It's right in my doorstep.

Bad points:

It needs some more subtly added in technical sections to the existing trails. Needs more trails.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Reflecting after a great afternoon pumping the Olympic 2012 Trails

Three Ladies all the way from near Brighton in East Sussex.
Did we enjoy our weekend at Hadleigh? Oh yes, yes we did. Three ladies with good skills celebrating ones 50th birthday found the trails engaging, technical at times and very very ride able despite rain one day and frosts the next. The scenery was fantastic and the trails were well designed and had good surfaces throughout. We would have liked longer trails and better directional markings at key points and a hot shower to finish. That said. It was just brilliant to be riding the Olympic 2012 Park where we sat one sunny day way back watching in awe those skillful riders who blazed the trails and showed us how it should be done.

The Salvation Army Cafe was really well run, warm and friendly and a welcome stop off between trail rides. Toilets were super clean and the whole park facility was well laid out with ample parking at a very reasonable rate. Just wish I could have parked up overnight in our motor home so that we could have maxed out our time here.
We would happily have paid for an over night stop with electric hookup, something for the organizers to consider in the future perhaps as there is so much room to do so.

Thank you to all for a very welcoming venue.

Good points:

Access, parking, Cafe, Shop and ride able trails whatever the weather. Friendly staff, super clean well run facilities.

Bad points:

No showers, would have been nice to clean up and warm up after a wet cold day. No overnight Motor home parking facility despite the massive car park

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
