Review:
I did this with the black run and was disapointed. Uphill to start was ok but no single track. Downhill and black run was fast and fun but I would hardly call it that technical, I am a seriously cautious rider and other than a few jump sections I rode the lot with no problem. There was far to much fire road in between any good stuff and you finish the ride in a state of bordom. Cafe was ok, but MBUK was well off the mark if they think thats the best bacon butty around.

rather bum me mate

Review:
Spent an hour and a half travelling to this place. Total rubbish (red run). Spent 2 miles going up a fire road to be rewarded by 40 seconds of good downhill. Then more climbing followed by 20 seconds of downhill. Things only got worse. If your an average xc rider you may like this however if i wanted to ride tracks like this i would have bought a road bike.

My mate and myself were dressed like giblets in armour and full face helmets (my mate had a full downhill helmet). He boiled his backside off and i almost died of boredom. Avoid if you any type of technical rider

Summary:
Black?

Review:
Whoever invented the term "black run" must be feelin' a bit miffed at this place. O.K, it's a great trail for families and novices, but NO WAY COULD ANY SECTION OF THIS BE DEEMED "BLACK" If you want a good ride here, go during the week when it's quiet, and take a packed lunch cos the cafe is a rip-off. Don't bother going if it looks like snow, cos they close the place if there's more than a light-dusting.Be prepared to have a giggle at the divvies who take £5k bikes there and wear head to toe armour. It aint Morzine!

Slight change to review after a visit yesterday. They wanted £3.50 to park there! The girls in the cafe who served me had faces on them like murder when I asked for sevice, and interrupted their conversation on ill-fitting t-shirts. Riding the trail had me wondering why all the flat/uphill sections are immaculately maintained, while the fast/downhill sections are wearing away badly. There are sections of the trail closed off(the website does hint at this, but it also advertises events over a year old, so not sure how up to date they are) This is becoming not a mountain bikers venue, but a place for families to experience mountain biking. Never going there again.
