Get in there folks. FoD is awesome… give them a review and rating for the Trail of the Year 2026.

Vote for us to win iBikeRide.com's Trail of the Year 🏆

The annual rider-led ranking of UK mountain bike trails is back for 2026. Last year we came fourth – just 0.073 away from being crowned the winners – so we're gunning to win this year.

👉 Voting is easy! Just rate and review us over on iBikeRide's website, and your score will be combined to create a live ranking for the Cycle Centre: https://ibikeride.com/trail-of-the-year

Only ratings and reviews from this year will count. If you rated us last year, you can go ahead and do it again (you can rate once per trail per calendar year, to make it fair).

🙏 Thanks in advance for all your support!

Eyemouth Pump Track is in its finishing phase following completion of asphalting on the new Velosolutions-designed circuit in the Scottish Borders.

As pump tracks evolve with more features, what would you actually want to see added next?
