Summary:
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

Review:
Just got back - lovely 4 hours on the Skyline trail. Missed a sign and got slightly lost as we had our heads down for a climb just after missing a sharp turn. The final section, Jetlag, is awesome and the climbs are wonderful - the first one gets you well warmed up for the day?! A great cross country ride full of excitement. The trail reminds you about what Wales is all about.
