One Giant Leap was formed after the dust has settled
from the now infamous NPS downhill track set on the Giant's Foot
mountain range at Llangollen. Martin, the farmer has teamed up with
some .local enthusiasts to create a new
track down the open mountain in the shadow of the NPS track. .Originally
the track was intended to be an easy and civilised alternative to
the NPS track . Something seems to have gone wrong
somewhere!
Next uplift
25th April at 10am. £25 including lunch and BC
insurance, contact us for details as we still have spaces
B&B
accomodation with secure bike storage for events can be provided
by UCLAN. Less than 1/2 mile from the track.
Can you compete
with Brendan's time and become the new king of Llangollen on the now
famous BDS 2010 track?
We now have a third track
that is now complete and is enjoying many favorable comments. The
new track is the easiest of the three. It is less steep but
has many features built into it, all of which feature
alternative routes to give 'challenge by choice' making it
ideal for less experienced riders. The track is around 3
minutes in length and puts the fun into riding. Both tracks
start and finish at the same point.
Uplifts are now running
on a regular basis, check out our gallery page for pictures and
information.
As a
club we are now affiliated
with British Cycling. We can accept club members who can get involved
with
track development and testing and enjoy the benefits of British Cycling
insurance. Non club members will no longer be allowed to ride the
track out of official
events. New tracks are planned and we need riders to get involved
as the advice
I get from riding the track is invaluable. Uplifts
are happening on a
regular basis and
two club members will ride as Marshall Riders free of charge on every
uplift.
All club members will be e-mailed as soon as uplifts dates are
announced.
Membership will cost £10 per year. Click the link below

With
special thanks to Steve Parr, Si Paton &
Dave Franciosy
Llangollen
is proud to be hosting the 2011 National Champs.
Si and Dave have been successful in their tender to host
next year's Champs. We are planning to 'tame the beast' in
the woods and bring the new track onto the open mountain to
use the same finish as the 2010 BDS.
