We started The Hub 10 years ago at Glentress and have worked hard to promote it as the premier riding venue in the UK.
We want to stay where we are and further invest in our premises and the venue.
What we propose is that we buy the land that the cafe is on and invest in the business we have built up in the last 10 years.
What we are offering is a different facility to what the Forestry Commission have built in the 5 star Peel centre.
We want to keep going and by closing us down the Forestry Commission not only take away our business and the goodwill we have built up in the last 10 years, but also they take away a facility from our loyal customers who want to use us.
We are happy to take the risk and to continue and if it doesn't work out then its our loss-not the taxpayers.
If you would like to support us then please add your name to our petition.
Emma & Tracy.
(Ignore the donation option-we don't want you to donate)!

The hub has been the heart and soul of Glentress for mountain bikers, and any visitor to the forest. There is no way this should be allowed to be forced into closure. Emma and Tracey have worked impossibly hard to create such a great environment. Please please sign...
