How did UKBP come about, talking to some of the locals, i know it evolved from trails built by the locals, by permission, but how did it come from that, (which to be fair you can find in many places around the country), to what appears to be a successful enterprise, run by ali.w, ukbikepark etc, is it all done in "spare time" or is it a tangible business similar to CwmDown etc? Fair play either way, i enjoy riding there, and will continue to pay for the privilige, as there is no where else within 2.5hrs drive that can beat it.

Just interested and being nosey. Tell me to mind my own business if you want...

It's a long story for which we don't have the time to sit down and type 

Next time you're at the park we'll tell you over a cup of coffee - but to distill it down to one sentence - loads & loads & loads & loads of hard work (three years in now) with no pay, all made possible by the help of some great & dedicated people.
