Mountain biking has numerous benefits. It is healthy and fun and provides some wonderful opportunities to see the best that the UK has to offer in terms of nature and landmarks. In this way, it bears some of the same benefits as jogging. However, natural terrain features obstacles which joggers don't contend with. Modern mountain bikes are designed to manoeuvre around these, however. Some riders actually enjoy the challenge these obstacles provide. Cutting edge technology, which can be found in today's mountain, bikes are an encouragement for those who like to combine health and technology and make the most of the trails available. Let's take a look at some of the finest mountain biking trails in the UK, some more testing than others.
Glentress, Scotland. This is one of the esteemed 7stanes top-level biking centres in Scotland. Stane simply means stone and symbolises Scotland's southern biking centres. They offer superb facilities with routes for beginners and the more experienced. It has actually been called the UK's top mountain biking destination by a trail expert Ian Warby.
Grizedale, Cumbria. The North Face trail offers so much by way of stunning views, challenging climbs, and excitement for the technically-minded. There are also forest sculptures for anyone wishing to take a breather and admire some of the beauty on offer.
Machynlleth, Mid Wales. There is some stunning landscape around Machynlleth and the 15km round trail through Dyfi Forest is beautiful with eight banks at the end. Trail advisor to Wales tourism and professional bike-tester, Guy Kesteven says "you'll probably be screaming".
Calderdale, Yorkshire. Not far from Calderdale is the Mary Towneley loop. The 47 mile trail is a testing one and sees you crossing the Pennines twice. It has been described as "the more serious kind of mountain biking" by chairman of the International Mountain Biking Association, Karl Bartlet.
