Published: 25th April, 2012


For round 2 of the MSG - Eastern XC Series we embrace the woodlands of Hylands Park in Chelmsford. Famous for its Grade II neo-classical villa and hosting V festival the Park provides us with a 574 acre site which each April Chelmsford Borough Council kindly allows us to take over and let the mountain bikers loose on!

Hylands Park, Chelmsford, Essex - 29th April 2012

With our merry band of helpers from Chelmsford Youth Cycling Club we are able to create a lap of just over 4 miles which takes in all of the available woodland and provides a great challenge to both experienced and novice riders. To keep the course fresh for 2012 we have be able to add 2 new features which we feel will add to the course. The course continues to involve wide following forest tracks with high speeds, technical single track with off camber exposed roots, and of course a quick sprint across the rolling fields of Hylands Park.
