The vast open land and mountains make for a beautiful backdrop to the Overland Pump track even though it’s located right inside a suburban neighborhood. The humps of the pump track come in a variety of sizes which really allow riders to use their momentum and their own power to move fast around the track.

The areas between the asphalt track are filled in with fine/medium sized gravel that can find its way on to the track. This can cause slick conditions or hazards, so be on the look out as you’re riding. And maybe take a look around the track before you get started.

The steep humps and banked turns in the Overland Pump Track will give any rider a good leg workout. And those who try to go fast, are very likely to succeed! This pump track does not have any directional arrows which I like. This gives riders the freedom to go wherever they want and try turns in different directions.

From the flat platform area the layout of the track creates a wide loop around the outside with larger mellow banked turns. The turns get a little sharper and the humps get a little steeper as riders zig zag through the inside of the track.
