Reviews for Sherwood Pines Mountain Bike Trails

Summary:
Avoid at weekends!

Review:
Sherwood Pines is my local trail centre, only 15-20 mins from my house.

It has great facilities, bike shop, cafe which sell the BEST sausage rolls ever!, decent toilets and plenty of parking - excellent start!

There is a choice of 3 routes, green - family, blue - family, red - slightly more technical that the other two but nothing tricky. The signage for the routes isn't great meaning that a lot of people wander on to the routes, whether or not they are aware they are on bike only routes remains to be seen but watch out! I would suggest riding later in the day/evening and avoiding at weekends and school holidays.

There are some opportunities for 'off-roading' but generally the ground is boggy and boringly flat.

Serves a purpose but hardly exciting!

Summary:
Good fun

Review:
First time out on the Kitchener trail and its a good fun trail, did the downhill section and went back for another run!

Summary:
Decently good

Review:
Enjoyed this trail as it is quite flat but i loved hiting the jumps at the bike park

Summary:
Flat but good

Review:
You need to bring some legs with you for this! There's a lot of pedalling. The red is not bad. The blue is up there with one of the best blues around. The DH area has a Bike Park Level 2 rating which it definitely isn't but it's fun nonetheless. The dirt jumps are great. REALLY good to learn how to jump properly and they go up to a decent size. There's shed loads of unofficial stuff too, which is worth hunting for.

Summary:
Nothing like the pictures

Review:
The pictures on here are old, all the north shore has been taken down and replaced with rock jumps which are ok for new states to the mtb. They call this a black graded downhill but it's not steep and it's more like a red. the jump park is good with a range of different jumps for all abilities. They are maintained so some of jumps are worn. The red route is is flat with some odd features but more like a blue. its good for spinning the pedals so if you're a xc rider then you will like it. If you ride enduro all mountain it's lame.
