MTB News: The shape team of six led by bike park guru Diddie Schneider has its hands full. The MTB ZONE Bikepark Petzen starts the new season on May 19th. Freshly groomed top trails await the riders and from the end of June there will even be a new enduro route. For the ambitious bike team, it's not just about spitting on your hands in the next few days!
The winter was hard – and very long! The upper part of the IMBA award-winning Flow Country Trail was covered in snow well into May. But not only the white splendor affected the trails in the MTB ZONE Bikepark Petzen, but also fallen trees. For the team around bike park operator Diddie Schneider, that means work, a lot of work. The rehabilitation work also includes repairing brake shafts, removing erosion damage and applying a new layer of sand. Anyone who knows the course designer Diddie Schneider also knows that the jumps at the season opener on May 19, 2018 will be perfectly shaped.
But even with the opening, the shape team cannot leave the tools behind. The permanent maintenance of the routes guarantees the visitors of the bike park perfectly groomed trails throughout the season. At the end of June, the bike park will be enriched with another attraction: a completely new enduro track! This will be completed in time for the EWS (Enduro World Series) stop. With Flow Country Trail, Thriller and practice course on the Petzen, a total of over 18 kilometers of varied routes are already available.
