Reviews for Glentress Mountain Bike Trails

Summary:
Superb route, big big climb, fun descents

Review:
This is a must do trail for sure and excellent fun descents after the long haul climb (especially 'one big long haul' from the Hub carpark).

The Spooky Wood descent is superb and can be repeated as many times as you want by return to the summit on the fire road and spooky wood climb. You can also include a play in the freeride park and maybe also try to include the excellent blue section descent called 'electic blue' which starts at buzzard nest car park next to the freeride park.

We just did the whole red route once. I think if I do it again, which I will, I will probably start from the Buzzard Nest car park and ride upto Spooky wood and just keep riding that section again and again, until I really nail it, it's that good.

However, for me, for a route to score max points, it has to offer a bit of everything, within the red grade, of course. From what I remember, the route lacks any slow speed techy trials skills. There are no northshore, rock garden, skills obstacles. That's just a personal pref, it is just fast flowing fun!!!

Summary:
Great for beginners or advancing your tricks

Review:
If you are a hardcore freerider then this is definately not for you. It is however a great trail for learning the basics and then taking it a step further - Funny how it sort of represents the name!.

I loved the top section of this course with the two table tops and step up. The tables are split with a small kicker on one side and a normal lip on the other with a nice easy run out which can be forgiving if you don't quite make the trick. The step up is great fun and gave me the opportunity to learn no footers and one handers without the worry of a long fall off the other side if it doesn't go to plan.

The north shore section is ok but nothing special, again its ideal if you haven't ridden anything like this before and want to build your confidence. Further down there is a small drop in and then the trail splits in two like a duel course with some small table tops one set slightly more difficult than the other.

Overall good fun for a blast down the hill and it is well used by riders of all abilities.

Summary:
Well designed fast flowing Red Trail, just fantastic for everyone.

Review:

The first thing you notice when you arrive here is the amount of riders which shows its really popular, and thats because its class.

This place has all the facilities that you would expect such as Toilets, Showers, Bike hire, cafe.

The trail starts off with a climb up but its not to steep and is definitely worth it. Once your up its time for the fast flowing single track back down that launches you over jumps and around steep berms. Then you come to the Spooky Forest which is just fantastic, you will ride over some north floor and a few small bridges very fast flowing.

Then its more single track mania eventually leading you back to the car park with a big smile on your face.

This trail is just fantastic and keeps you wanting more, You must go at least once.

Enjoy.

This is situated near the buzzards nest carpark, so you pass it on the road up the red and black trails. its great to spin of the rail for ten or twenty minutes to proactice and have some fun. Its well laid out and there is plenty to play on!!
