Fire road....fire road.......fire road....fire road.......fire road
Review:
The summary says it all. No offence to Kenchenko but this is no where near as good as Glentress, not even close. MBR does consist of some really decent fast techy sections but the fire road that links them together is painfully boring, it just goes on and on and up and up.
Please do not begin this trail thinking that it is going to be like Glentress, you will be sorely disappointed if you do. Instead prepare yourself for a lot of fire road climbs with some pretty decent flowing techy sections linking the fire roads. Still worth doing despite the fire roads

Awesome!
Review:
I would rank this up there with Glentress- it's got Everything; technical rocky bits, swooping fast bits (which could use bigger berms), fast rocky bits, whoops and berms, drop offs...
there's some pretty mean climbs too, so eat some breakfast before you set off, but yeah it's ace. if you're at CyB, do this (or one of the variants that shares most of the sections).

Dissapointing
Review:
This is a well maintained track of that there is no doubt but at what cost?
All the downhills never have enough flow for MY type of riding although I can understand other views of it being technical and enjoyable but I require a good rewarding fast flowing downhill challenge after boring fire road climbs which occur on this route!
Sorry but not a patch on llandegla but this is only my opinion and as stated I love fast single track not rocky stop starts

Truly a Beast.....
Review:
Superb. All of the downhill/singletrack sections are awesome, but the long fire road climb is a bee-atch, and there's an unnecessary 6 mile fire road loop before the first Addams family section that can be avoided by pushing up the road. Have done it 4 times this year, but last time did the MBR morning/Dragons Back afternoon(clocked 26 miles in total). We were battered. Hard work but worth it.

Summary:
Great, bit of a killer on the uphill though
Review:
This trail has loads of uphill that seem to go on forever - real leg burners. But the downhill is fantastic, long flowing sections, rocky and steep in places (i came off twice due to indecision on some rocky bits!!!) Treat with respect and it will reward you!!
