Hidden Tracks Cycling

Charlie Codrington is a veteran of London’s off road cycling scene, uber keen cyclocross rider and competitor, mountain biker and confirmed map man. Over the years he’s developed an encyclopedic knowledge of the bridle and byways that surround London.

An accomplished British Cycling Coach he's the lead off-road coach at Herne Hill Velodrome, teaching cyclocross, mountain bike and gravel bike riding to teams and individuals at every level from beginner to National Champions.

In 2021 he founded Hidden Tracks Cycling to encourage others to discover the glorious tracks and trails on Londoner’s doorstep and enjoy off-road gravel cycling. He regularly organises events, mountain bike and cyclocross skills sessions as well as building an ever growing library of GPX gravel routes to try.
