SORRY PEOPLE!  but we have been forced to close the Hill due to the amount of snow and ice we have had recently.

We would advise visitors to hold off at the moment as it’s difficult just trying to get up the road to our gates!

It just isn’t safe to ride any of the trails at present and as we are in dense woodland, the possibility of large branches falling due to the weight of the snow is very high, a few have come down already!

We are sorry for any inconvenience and will re-open as soon as possible!

Hi guys, winter and dark nights are quickly creeping up on us, thankfully we don’t need to stop riding as our good friends over at www.magicshineuk.co.uk are offering an excellent 10% discount to all members of Aston Hill. All you need to do is quote RAH12 and your Aston Hill membership number (they will check with us)! Go over and take a browse, they have some great lighting at great prices!

Thanks to all our race sponsors and the riders for making our recent race on ‘Root Canal a huge success with another sell out! As you guys know that all profits from races go straight back into the Hill and this gives us enough for alot more surfacing and machine hire to get the ‘Surface to Air’ track a huge boost in terms of actually seeing the trail almost finished.

A special thanks to all the sponsors as the prizes were absolutely top notch, I can’t actually think of any race that i’ve been to where the prizes on offer have been as good! So thanks in no particular order to: Specialized UK, Madison.co.uk, MoreCore.co.uk, GogoDojo, Ison Distribution, BTR Fabrications, Dees Cycles, Kali Protectives, Beeline Bicycles, Supernova Cycles, Endura, Plush Suspension Tuning, Mikrotime and all the Commitee members who helped make it happen.

Here’s a little race report from Ride.i.o: http://ride.io/racing/aston-hill-2012-autumn-race-423/

Hey Folks! We’d like to proudly announce the Winners of the ‘WHAT’S ON YOUR BRAIN’ competition to Name the New Track that was previously the old DH4 site. We had a MASSIVE response to the comp and some of the entries did make us chuckle, including ROB WARNER’S effort ‘LINFORD’S LUNCHBOX’!
Cheers Rob!

CONGRATULATIONS TO JONATHAN STARKEY!
The new track is called ‘SURFACED TO AIR’ very apt as the track is ‘all weather surfaced’ and is littered with jumps, drops and step up’s.

We also picked two other names for the 4-2-3 and DH3 Trails, these will be re-named ‘ROOT CANAL’ (4-2-3) thanks to TOM HOULT, and ‘RICOCHET’ (DH3) thanks to Paul Gardner.

All three Winners have been notified and invited to come to the NEW TRACK OPENING DAY (once finished and decided) to receive their prizes and be the first members of the public to ride the new track.

We’d like to thank everyone who took part and can’t wait to finish and get the track opened for everyone to shred and enjoy!

"Get your race head on!"

Entry for our 4-2-3 Race is LIVE now folks.
Enter online to save a few quid and guarantee your place. The Black Run Race in March was a totall sell out so enter early to avoid being turned away on the day.
