Summary:
Good fun for East Anglia

Review:
There isn't a great deal of choice in East Anglia, so this is pretty much it.

The Red Trail is good fun and unlikely to be a challenge to anyone. Those with a phobia of hills should have nothing to fear here.

The trail group 'TIMBER' have a tough time getting things approved by the FC, but they making it better. Slowly but surely.

The main problem I have found everytime I have been is that there is always some numpty riding the wrong way round the trails. With very little sight round some of the wooded areas, you dont see them until it's too late.

Summary:
the beast till last?

Review:
the beast is byfar the best part of the black run when attacked hard and fast, but is way to short!come on thetford spend some time on the black run as most of it is just crap joining bits to the 3-4 good single track parts that thetford is famous for.

Summary:
Great for beginners

Review:
I went to Thetford Forest on a course and spent the day on the red route which was fun but a bit slow in places. The Beast, however, really gets the heart going, more from the fear of going headlong into a tree than from the physical exertion. Finished with a big grin on my face! This was my first taste of mountain biking and left me wanting more!

short but fun

Review:
ive done it a few times and is much more fun when you go faster, quite flat bit of uphill, bit of downhill, its not too difficult but wayy too short and its not too hard to go head first into a tree !

Summary:
tougher and funner than expected

Review:
read that the thetford trails were easier than graded so expected the red route to be fairly easy

and a fair bit of it is

but the 'skills area' with its mini mini northshore and the new singletrack sections further round (swoopy bermy twisty stuff) make for a fun fast ride for more experienced riders that still even my totally noob wife (2 months riding and counting) could get through at a slower pace
