future

We are aiming to provide one of the best progressive trail centres in the region, suitable for advanced riders as well as those who are looking to improve their bike riding abilities. We will continue to build all of our amazing trails and features by hand, maintaining the reputation that Cafeside has acquired to date. We will add new trails once the site has opened, with a target of doubling the length of the existing trail network within the first couple of years.

We will keep the unique community feel of Cafeside, by encouraging everyone to be able to support and grow the venue - whether it's listening to rider feedback, encouraging volunteering, or physical support of the trail building process. We want people to be able to continue to contribute to the future of Cafeside, and be rewarded for their effort - such as free riding for volunteers contributing their time and effort on dig days. We will endeavour to provide a safe and attractive venue for riders of all ages and backgrounds.

By running the business as a Community Interest Company (CIC), we will be continuously re-investing in the site and wider community - whether it’s adding new features, better facilities, or encouraging events and building relationships with our neighbours and local businesses. We will also look to offer advice and support to other trail centres who are going through a similar process themselves, and we are working with individuals looking to establish a national trail association, the first of its kind in England.
