      Greno Woods have been home for mountain bikers for as long as the sport has been in this country; it hosted races up until 1994 and provided the training ground for World Downhill Mountain Bike Champion Steve Peat.

      Its flowing rocky trails are one of the reasons for its popularity, providing a challenge for all abilities, its less severe gradient makes it more appealing to less experienced riders and its free draining soil means that even in the worst conditions it can be ridden with little impact on the trail or woodland environment.

      Since the woods have been managed by Sheffield Wildlife Trust, the scope for mountain biking has been investigated further. The success of Peaty’s Steel City Downhill showed that with 200 competitors and over 500 spectators, the woods were more than capable of sustaining more mountain biking activities. It also raised £2,000 for the Greno Woods Appeal
