amazing

Review:
Got round in 3 1/2 hours first time but took longer second time (not the same day) to enjoy the views. Was totally knackered both times but well worth it. Final decent amazing but had to take a break to give fingers a rest. I would recommend to everyone with a decent level of fitness but take some food and alot of water

Great!

Review:
This is a superb trail and after this, the trails at home will seem rather inadequate ;-) Energy is a fantastic section. The boarded section was a little disappointing, lacked a bit of flow. But definitely worth the climb overall.

Worth doing at least once.

Review:
It's a huge undertaking, definitely for the well prepared and with a comfy saddle ;-)

The views are brilliant, lots of short forest sections that are great fun. Grand Canyon is a real test of your suspension!

What spoilt it for me was all the fire roads. Too much of that for my liking. I prefer shorter trails, Whites Level is highly recommded.

You need to have some stamina for this.

Review:
If you are going to afan of a fun challenge, start here.
Your legs will beg you to get off and walk at the start and your hands will aching by the last few singletrack sections but when you finish, you feel like you could take on anything!
Worth doing twice if you can.
I had to stop for a bit to get feeling back in my hands on second run before final descent but made it back to shop in 7.5hrs
