Reviews for Dalby Forest Red Trail

Summary:
A good test of fitness and technical bike handling skills.

Review:
I have only spent 1 day riding this course but what a day, I'm sure there will have been plenty of blood, sweat & tears spilt here! Tight twisting berms, fast flowing berms, steep downhill sections that really concentrate the mind, jumps aplenty and fast forest tracks that are a real pleasure and test of ability. The setting is beautiful and it's clear that a lot thought and hard work has gone into making this a mountain biker's mecca to be repeated as often as possible.

Summary:
the best fun

Review:

Review:
My mate built my spesh hardtail for me, he lives near by, so suggested we go to Dalby for my first ride...
I hadn't sat on a bike, let alone ridden one in over twenty years. So with no small amount of fear we set off around the red route.
Terrified, confused, can you say no ability what so ever.
Oh My God, I gained more grey hairs and lines on my face in that one day than I have in the previous 39 years. lol

Although I had the steepest learning curve you can imagine, I had a blast attempting to keep up. There are some wicked sections, the sandy built-up single track through the pine trees is my fav bit of all.

Although you could smell my fear (if you get my drift) I've since been back three or four more times and there's still bits that scare the crap out of me but its a blast when you get round. Recommend it, but it is certainly for the more experienced rider, I should Know!! Lol

Summary:
bonza fun,plenty long enough to tire most folk out.

Review:
The downhill single tracks are great. The thought put in to the layout maximises the fun and gets the uphill slog out of the way quickly.
For a newbie rider like me it is easy to experience fast descents and scare yourself plenty.
It is well marked with lots of "escape" trails for when your knackered/scared .
Highlights "Vera Lynns". Big berms were you will be travelling too fast!!!!!!!
& the fast dark wooded run in to the finish of the red trail to the visitor center.
Low points. not fit enough yet !!!

Summary:
A grand day out

Review:
The new route is fantastic, it's got a bit of everything and flows luvly....... With a few more little testing technical features put in here and there it would be a 10 on it's own merit. I think if you had the strength to do the red, black and finish with a play in the bike pack, you would score the whole experience a 10, but I haven't done that yet.
