      Popular Redruth Mountain Biking Trails

      100 4.4 1,886 ft 0 ft 119
      Fun flowing single track from the top of poldice to the bottom...
      85 3.0 2,396 ft 63 ft 102
      An alternate route in and out of the car park and cafe at Bissoe. This is a little more interesting (especially in the wet) and a little more of a challenge than the standard coast to coast trail route. It runs alongside the main trail,...
      90 3.0 1,739 ft 0 ft 95
      A section of the Great Flat Lode. Popular and well known by local riders as it is quick with flow. No trail features to speak of, but the mine buildings near by are fun to mess about on!
      100 4.0 978 ft 0 ft 94
      Flowing range of medium to large jumps with mandatory air.
      95 2.7 1,900 ft 0 ft 87
      Part of the Great Flat Lode.
      95 3.0 846 ft 0 ft 73
      A good entry level trail to some of the great stuff hiding in Unity Woods. The trail starts with a couple of drops which set you up for a step up. You then follow the trail over a couple of rollers (possible double) into the berms....
      80 3.0 902 ft 0 ft 73
      Popular blue difficulty singletrack. This mountain bike primary trail can be used downhill primary. On average it takes 2 minutes to complete this trail.
      75 0.0 1,827 ft 0 ft 69
      Easier than the top two runs but still has lots of fixed rocks to navigate, lots of large loose rocks at the steep end to shake fillings loose. Boggy in the middle part when wet, should be fun in summer.
