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! 

 Uplifts are taking place regularly including evening sessions e-mail Martin for details of current uplifts

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.

  As a club we are 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  to download the membership application form.
