Trek Bicycle Bicester rolled into Phoenix Bike Park for a day of flowing trails, enormous jumps, suspiciously average coffee, and one heroic multi pack bag of that barely survived.
Liam pulled together an absolute belter of a day — the kind where everyone leaves covered in dust, grinning like kids, and suddenly convinced they “could definitely clear that next jump.” Some did. Some very much didn’t.
Special mention has to go to Sam Smith, who somehow turned up less than 24 hours after spending FIVE hours in A&E with suspected broken ribs following a crash the day before.
Most people would’ve stayed home wrapped in bubble wrap, but not Sam. Armed with coffee, sunglasses, and pure Trek ambassador energy, she took on the vital role of Lead Clapper and Official Whooper-in-Chief, cheering riders on like Phoenix Bike Park’s own hype squad. Frankly, the jumps were big, but Sam’s commitment was bigger.
As for the riding — massive sends, questionable landings, and enough airtime to make Ryanair nervous. Phoenix delivered the goods all day long.
If you came along, you already know how good it was. If you didn’t… well, your social media scrolling punishment starts now. Keep your eyes peeled for the next Trek Bicycle Bicester ride-out — and bring your own crisps
