Mountain Bikers celebrate new Aberdeen Trail

Published: 5th March 2005 | By billy1979

Forestry Commission Scotland hosted an open day to celebrate the opening of its new mountain biking "fun park" in Kirkhill Forest, Aberdeen, on Tuesday 8th March 2005.

The new track is about half a mile long, and is intended to be the forerunner of a trails network totalling 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) that will be developed in the forest over the next two years. The fun park begins with an easy uphill ride through mature conifer forest to an open area, from where the descent back to the start takes the rider through classic mountain biking features such as jumps, "doubles", berms, switchbacks and others.

Kincardine Forest District community ranger Dan Cadle explained, "We decided to begin the trail centre with the fun park because it gives riders a great facility to ride on while we press on with building the rest of the trails over the next couple of years.
