Rowney Warren Mountain Biking

Rowney Warren is located in Bedfordshire, England, a pine wood with sandy soil which contains excellent mountain bike trails. These trails have been developed through the cooperation of Beds Fat Trax (the Mountain Bike Club of Rowney Warren) with the Southill Estate and the Forestry Commission who jointly manage the woodland. The area's trails are commonly referred to as Chicksands by mountain bikers. The area hosts competitions during the year such as the DirtJam dirt jump competition and races on the XC and dual slalom courses. The wood contains XC, dual slalom, 4X, dirt jumps and a North Shore inspired element called ChickShore which has recently been saved from demolition. Chickshore is now being rebuilt to the standard required by Health and Safety and insurers shown by Esher Shore. The whole area is also undergoing improved signage for the same reasons. Currently the provision of further facilities such as toilets and a small cafe are being investigated.The woods are also a good place for Mountain Boarding.
