TRAILCREW PHOENIX CYCLEWORK

Rising from flat Suffolk farmland, this perfectly-formed study in how to create elevation where there isn't any is a focal point for East Anglian radness

TRAIL STATS

Distance

The trails/lines are all in two self-contained areas, apart from the XC skills loop, which is 2.3km long

Climbing

It's relatively flat, so push or ride up to the start ramps

Time

All under a minute, other than the XC skills loop

Grading

Progressive, from a beginners' pump track and rollable tabletops on one side, through to pro-level slopestyle jumps and features on the other, marked with a dot system from one to five

WHY RIDE HERE?

It's got everything you need if you're looking to progress your jumping and slopestyle skills

RAD...

Great use of flat land to create the illusion of elevation

Immaculately sculpted trails

Well-constructed wood features

A short push/ride back to the start from the end of all trails

Fully stocked bike shop

BAD...

Great if you're in East Anglia, but a long way away from a lot of other places in the UK

The elevated A-road bisecting the site is a bit noisy at times
