Annual SNCC Cannock MTB Trip - December

This is our annual trip to Cannock Chase Trails for some off-road MTB fun.

We'll ride the "follow the dog" and "monkey trail" routes and usually have around 12 riders each year for this event, so if you like mud, sweat and coffee, this is for you!

Follow the Dog Trail

This classic cross country MTB trail was first launched in 2005. The trail surface is very variable, in places expect loose stone, roots and mud. There is a lot more climbing compared to Perry’s Trail, and has one big climb.

This trail includes technical features you’d expect to find when progressing to red (difficult) and for those more experienced, several black options to try. Expect flowing singletrack, medium berms, step ups, step downs, rock gardens, boardwalks, rollers, jumps and drop offs. The black difficult graded lines include large and unavoidable rocks and rock gardens.

The trail is managed in partnership with Chase Trails. Current highlights include the recently built ‘Twist and Shout’, plus the usual classics ‘High Voltage’, 'Son of Chainslapper’ and ‘Snakes ‘n’ Adders’.

 

The Monkey trail

This challenging red (difficult) cross country MTB trail was first launched in 2010. The trail surface is very variable, in places expect loose stone, roots and mud. Designed with very experienced mountain bikers in mind, this trail is far more physically and technically challenging and demanding than Follow the Dog. It features bigger, stepper climbs and more technical descents.

A singletrack mountain bike trail which includes technical features and several black options. Expect flowing singletrack, medium berms, step ups, step downs, rock gardens, boardwalks, rollers, jumps and drop offs. The black difficult graded lines include large and unavoidable rocks and rock gardens.

The Monkey Trail start is reached after cycling the first 3.7km/2.29 miles of Follow the Dog Trail. The trail is managed in partnership with Chase Trails. Current highlights include Monkey’s Uncle, Upper and Lower Cliff.
