The Helm Trails in Helmond have been revamped. Everything went down and then 20 extra truckloads of good dirt were rolled in and put into place. The place is looking amazing now. The kids- (pump-) track is done and the big lines have already been jumped. The six feet high fence around the trails and the giant freight container

(which forms the starting hill) are all into place. Heck, we even got some stylish benches that came straight out of the city center so you can chill on those in between sessions.

This Saturday the place will be opened by some official people of the city followed by an open riding session. If you are a spectator and want to see some action, show up between 14:00 - 17:00hr. Those who want to get some practice in or feel like shaping a few new jumps, feel free to show up earlier. Gate opens at: 11:00hr.

The place seriously is amazing. Get some people together and make it over to the end of the Vincent van Goghlaan/Johannes Vermeerlaan in Helmond. It's in the North-East part of the city, also called: "De Wilma". It's along the new canal and underneath the cycling bridge. Find it on Google maps and print it out, or type it in your TomTom. It's a 10 minute bike ride from the central train station (if you bring the directions).
