Not much dropper action needed

Review:
Reasonably tame, with lots of pedaling, as mentioned The Beast was the most enjoyable bit.

Summary:
good range of trails for all levels of riders!

Review:
These trails are very well made and maintained by thetfords own trail maintenence group, timber! These voulenteers work hard to keep the trails at thetford to a very high standard! There are a variety of trails from the green which is suitable for the whole family! Then to the blue which is pretty much the same but possibly a bit too long for younger children! These trails are where thetford really comes into its own! these trails are extrmely fun and challenging! the pits are very challenging and DEFIANTLY not for young children! the pits arent maintained as well as main trails but they are still a very good quality!

Summary:
the faster you go the more you will get from it

Review:
Twisty tight turns with some very sharp ups and downs, which will catch you out. Sprint as much as you can and it will be great fum.
There is a Secret beast route which is faster. Turn right at the "beast" sign, smother but so much faster. with then join on to the end of the old beast.

Summary:
Best forest trail in East area

Review:
Some brilliant holes, may end up spattered all over Howe's run or shredded at the bottom of Bracken pit. Also some great fly-overs that cross the easier, family routes which can produce some massive air hops. The only trail in the east area worth riding, but parking can easily cost you six quid at the forest centre.

Summary:
Good in parts, nice warm up

Review:
Well, this is a decent ride for fitness and speed training with some great twisty close in single track through the trees joined by firetracks and drawn out flat stuff. Myself and a friend use this as a warm up for the black run. However, this has the best bombhole on the park in the Squirrel Scamper. This has steep sides and is great for good level bikers wanting to get a bit of air and good drops.
Overall do it, if only to make your own mind up and also do the bombhole.
