These trails are designed with families in mind, offering a mix of easy climbs and smooth descents that keep everyone smiling.

CONTINUE THE FUN AT THE PUMP TRACK
The kids still not worn out after a few hours on the trails? Our Pump Track is the ultimate playground for kids and means you can relax at Velo Cafe and Beer Garden and watch them burn off steam. Your little adventurers can rent kid-sized electric bikes and zoom around the course. It’s the perfect way for them to burn some energy while building confidence on two wheels.
GARDEN GAMES
If your tots need a breather from biking, our play area has them covered. Watch them dig and create in the sandpit or challenge their siblings to a match of corn hole with our garden games.
After an action-packed day, there’s no better way to cool down than with a treat from Velo Cafe and Beer Garden. Grab an ice cream and settle into the garden with your crew. Whether you’re basking in the sun or sharing stories from the trails, it’s the sweetest way to wrap up your family adventure.
