Longwalls Lane Rocky Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is really great loose rocky descent down to Ashover Road named Longwalls Lane.

Enjoy some mega big rocky features and a few drops, so prepare to have fun!

It certainly makes for a challenging technical climb too.

Descent from Riber Castle to Cromford Meadows

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Super fun, fast and flowy descent out onto the fields. Mega views down into Cromford Meadows. The track is wide, some embedded rock. Watch out for the sheep!

Kelly's Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

My favourite trail in Black Rocks, not JUST because it's named after myself but because it was named after me for a reason.

Tinkersley Woods Singletrack

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Start off over farmland dropping down to what is easily one of my favorite woodland singletracks, a couple of drops on the first section and keep your wits about you as you cross the face of the hill.

"Technical climb" = technical carry. Don't bother trying to get up this on anything but a mountain goat.

Nice scenic route but really need a mountain bike. Lots of large stones and some steepish drops over rocks. Go through on my gravel bike but didn't feel comfortable. Great scenery, quiet and good mixture of surfaces.

The second part done at last and puncture free, really enjoyed it ,the banking is faster and the jumps flow better . Come out of part 1 ,follow the 5 pits trail back up the hill and you will see part 2 on the left . Part 2 finishes at the entrance of part 1 . I enjoyed it hope you do to .

Great section of singletrack after dropping through the fields, couple of tricky gates break the rhythm. Fantastic views as you pick your way through the trees along the edge of the steep face of the hill high up in the woods.
