Nice to ride in a group

Good points:

Our leatherheadzmtb group love riding over at Wakerley and fineshades woods, the trails are great and the facilities are just right. Love it ???

Bad points:

None really We are lucky to have such fine riding places Especially with the over development of our towns and cities. Great woods for riding are had to find.

Good fun and all weather!

I used to ride the red route here when it was first built and it was great, (but a bit short) but no maintenance and poor weather killed it. So now there's the armoured blue route. Great all-weather route and fun, and good for beginners. Bit short, of course. Add in alap around FIneshade and it's a fun ride, especially in the winter. Off-piste stuff gets muddy.

Good points:

All weather, proper car park, good fun.

Bad points:

Too short!

Wakerley and Fineshade

good for a bit of fun all year round.

Good points:

Wakerley scar tree trail is a great little trail to get your legs going with some tight and twisty berms and a few fast sections. Plenty of stuff to explore off the laid trail. Fineshade is great for adding a few miles to your ride and the short skill sections are a bit of fun. Look for the gaps in the trees near the old railway banking for unofficial trails. The bike shop is open at weekends and I've found them helpful on a couple of occasions and the cafe is good for hot drinks and light snacks. If you have a caravan there is a site next to the top lodge cafe and car park.

Bad points:

the trails have a little too much lime stone which takes away some of the natural rooted terrain challenge and is a bit short(though there are plenty of unofficial trails to explore). A few more signs near the openings of the sections warning walkers of the mtb trail might discourage walkers and their dogs being a danger to riders and themselves.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
