  • Peak Punisher

    topbar18_resizedMore and more mountain bikers are taking to the road at the moment, either for a change from the current swampy trails or because of inspiration from Brad or even because it just seems less taboo these days to be seen on skinny tyres. So if you fancy taking part in a locally organised event for a local charity then the Peak Punisher looks like a great event. More event from the organisers….. (more…)

    179661_477763785615678_77690851_nIn yet another thing Ride Sheffield have been involved in, Cy from Cotic Bikes led a project in which Cotic and Big Stone put up half the money to refurbish the derelict BMX track at Totley Hall Park into a pump track. Ride Sheffield were involved as we had to bid for grant funding from some local City trusts in order to raise 25% of the budget when the Council could only supply 25% themselves. (more…)

  • Repair Work On Jumbles Road And Houndkirk

    The Rights of Way Team have been doing a bit of work up on Houndkirk and Jumbles Road over the past week or so, but before you panic, this is all very simple repair work, rather than full on resurfacing, with the main aim being to keep the standing water off the Byways. Here is the word direct from them… (more…)

  • Free Security Bike Marking at Over-Ride Cycleworks

    Over-Ride cycleworks will be holding a free security bike marking event at their shop at 284 Shalesmoor, Sheffield on Saturday 16th March from 10.30am to 4pm in conjunction with South Yorkshire Police. This opportunity is open to anyone. You just need to take along your bike, the frame will be wiped, the police will give you a UV pen and ask you to write your house number and postcode somewhere on the frame. They will then cover it with a security skin. If the Police recover stolen bikes, those that are marked have a greater chance of being reunited with their owner. Take advantage of this free opportunity to protect your property. There will be further security advice available in store on the day.

  • Everything you wanted to know about Crowd Sourcing Lady Canning’s

    Ten days ago we launched our crowd sourcing project to raise money to build trails in Lady Canning’s Plantation. It’s an excellent site, with great soil and located on the edge of the Peak Park (half of the woods are in the national park) but is a 4 mile traffic free ride from Hunters BarGreno Woods Mini DH

    Since we launched the project we have been inundated with a couple of things; primarily money! Yes you have been amazing and we have been quite overwhelmed by the support and the good feeling in the Sheffield (and beyond) MTB community, with individuals giving anything from £5 to £100! It has meant that in a short amount of time we have raised just over £2000

    The other thing we have had quite a few of is questions! So hopefully we can answer a few of them here….. (more…)

  • Greno Dig Day

    The trail construction has been slowly progressing over the past 10 months, but as the anniversary of the first diggers on the ground looms (along with a certain race in the distant future) it seems like it is time to get the trails back in tip-top condition and draining better after the harsh winter that they have had so far.
