Jay’s commentary: When I first heard the idea of a pedal access bike park, I was skeptical, but after walking into the hub, and seeing all the people, feeling the stoke and the good vibes, I was immediately convinced that the idea was sound. The Hub and cafe is the heart of the place, the ‘Velo’ Cafe is great, and they have b.effect beers on tap now. I have to give a shout-out to the smoothies, as they were next level – there are people refueling, relaxing and recharging, meeting friends, and riding.
Bike Glendhu is one of those places that you’re bound to bump into someone you know, and that feeling of community resonates from the place. I have to be honest, the most fun I’ve had there was when I rented an e-bike and just blasted around. The climbs are chill and the flow tracks are awesome. If you want jumps, they have them too. Just remember to take in that amazing view at the top.
Conor leads Brooke into the shadow of Roy’s peak, around perhaps the park’s most well-known corner.
Conor tweaks out of the dust and into one of the tech black forest trails. Try out old faithfuls like Methane Train and Dark Matter, or suss new the new Rocky Borrow Picture Show.
