Share on Facebook Share on TwitterPublished: 7th November, 2011
The Trax mountain bike and BMX club are delighted to invite the local community of Tottenham and London, the wider bike community and all our members, friends and family to the official launch of The Lordship Loop bike park on Saturday Dec 3rd.
The "Lordship Loop" is created within open areas of woodland and the design is a big long 'pump track' style trail loop which is ridden individually and is very skills and feature intensive. It will cover a looped distance of 391metres which will be made from re-used earth bunds from recycled earth from the park and surfaced with aggregates to provide a fun year round riding facility. Designed as a singletrack experience it will be made up of rollers, berms, roller doubles and step-up jumps and will be rollable by all abilities but with more challenging jumps for experienced riders. The track is open all year. The project is delivered by specialist bike track builders Back on Track and Rowan Sorrell which will be managed by the Council's Recreation Team. Haringey Council will be responsible for maintaining the facility through the Lordship Recreation Ground's 10-year Management and Maintenance Plan. The Trax will help ensure long term sustainability by developing a bank of volunteers with bike track building and maintenance skills to undertake ongoing repairs and maintenance working with the council.

"This much anticipated launch brings both a much needed community run facility for youth in Tottenham. The whole bike world and the local community are coming together to make this a sustainable venture. The launch heralds a new era of mountain biking as it is brought to a new generation of riders in an urban setting. Hopefully the first of many, we welcome all to come and celebrate this historic day." Daniel Mintz Chair of The Trax
