Recent changes to plans to upgrade the A417 to a full dual carriageway will apparently leave the popular Flyup 417 bike park “uninsurable” and forced to close – despite previous assurances from National Highways.
A popular mountain bike park near Gloucester could be forced to close, its owners say, after National Highways moved forward construction work on a major road upgrade which would leave the cycling facility “uninsurable”.
Flyup 417, located on a 100-acre farm in Witcombe, just off the A417 and overlooking the city of Gloucester, is the biggest privately owned mountain bike facility in England, and is home to 11 downhill trials, an indoor concrete pump track, a dirt jump park, a dual slalom track, and a four-cross track
