Cathkin Braes Mountain Bike Trails | Venues
he Cathkin Braes Mountain Bike Trails are an exciting new addition to Glasgow's sporting landscape. Located on the city's south side, just 15 minutes from the Athletes' Village, the trails will host the Mountain Bike competitions and have been created in collaboration with expert designers.
The venue makes the most of the varied terrain of Cathkin Braes Country Park to provide a challenging course for riders. Set against a backdrop of ancient woodland, steep slopes and wide open spaces, the trails offer a spectacular panorama of the city beyond.
Owned by Glasgow City Council and South Lanarkshire Council, Cathkin Braes Mountain Bike Trails is a venue with bags of local character -- the course's key features were named by young people following a local schools' competition. Features like Brig O'Doom, Broken Biscuits and Clyde Climb will remain when the venue becomes a permanent facility for use by local communities and for international competition.

Glasgow mountain bike track
Me doing full lap of cathkin commonwealth mountain bike track in glasgow. Fast forward all the boring bits and hitting all the big obsticles on way round.A mini trail centre on the edge of Glasgow.At only 5.5km long this trail is packed with fun features including, drops, jumps, rock gardens, berms, a dual slalom section and several kilometres of winding single track.
Although graded as Red, this course is a great wee introduction to the trail centres that can be found all over Scotland. Cheers.
