sponsor CafesideMTB
Before Cafeside was closed in 2021, we were regularly seeing over 100 riders on site over a weekend, simply by word of mouth and the reputation for excellent riding on trails not found anywhere else locally.
Not only did the site attract large numbers of the local mountain bike community and their families, we were also seeing increasing numbers of riders from across the country. And in addition to these immediate customers, there was also the further exposure via social media photos and videos that got curated after a days riding.
When we re-open as a fully-fledged bike park, we are looking to grow these numbers significantly:
- Planning application including a car park suitable to 98 vehicles.
- Improved features such as start ramps, skill area.
- Opening new trails and improvements to existing ones.
- Better facilities for riders including qualified staff on site.
By sponsoring CafesideMTB and advertising your business with us when we open, you are showing your support for an amazing community resource and getting exposure to a large number of local and national potential business. Bikes, automotive, leisure, accommodation, food and beverage, and numerous other markets are closely related to the demographics of our riders and their families.
CafesideMTB will be run as a Community Interest Company (CIC) backed by guarantee, and all funding raised through sponsorship, day passes and annual memberships will go to the improvement and running of the site, allowing us to offer ever better trails and facilities, and open ourselves to a wider range of riders. See the CafesideMTB CIC page for information on beneficiaries, activities, benefits and how the business will be structured.
We will have an initial 3-year lease for the land from Forestry England and be insured for public liability, covering all activities on the site, for no less than £10 million.
