Review:
The first time I rode Skyline was this summer. The climb is the same as Whites level and is a good 30 - 50 slog but stick it in middle ring and just turn your wheels, your get to the top eventualy after the final switch back. Once at the top it can be a little windy but the trees keep you nicely sheltered. The trail is a mixture of fire roads and wooded sections. The final decent is a wrist/bone rattler, it is fantastic. It is a really fun ride and the views are fantastic. I am an XC rider and ride about 60 miles a week after work. It took me and a friend just over 3 hours to get round. We took full sussers, 3 litres of water, full backpacks with spares, phones and lots of energy packs. Once you get to the wind turbines take in the view. But you will then notice that you are a good 4-5 miles from the trail centre. Brilliant day out ride, good cafe, showers, toilets and a fully stocked bike shop. NOT FOR UNFIT RIDERS
