I’m part of a project to build a bike park in some woods in Dumbiedykes in Edinburgh. The park is called The Skelf.
It’s been a long road but the end is in sight – planning permission/lease sorted, funding sorted and just about to put out the tender for companies to build it this September.
As part of the Edinburgh Festival of Cycling we’ve got an open day at the park on Sunday June 19th so people can come and see the place and speak to us, find out what’s going on etc.
We had the guys from Architrail and Velosolutions out looking at the site this week and giving us tips on what needs to be done:
There will be a mobile pump track and a bunch of BMXs for you to use, got a few bands playing, there will be beer and I will be doing a BBQ. As an ex-professional sausage slinger (long story) I can guarantee some tasty food. I’ll be behind the grill so come say hi (that’s me on the right of the pic above)
It’s from 12 onwards and the park is next to the Crags Sports Centre in St Leonards/Dumbidykes.
