Summary:
Excellent trail

Review:
I totally enjoyed my lap of Ae. I did the trail alone and really got a sense of being in the thick of wilderness.

I hit on with the weather which made for some fantastic views.

The trail itself is very challenging (in a good way), it definately shakes you to your very core on a hard tail, I can vouch for that.

I would say this is an alrounder, good trying up hills to test stamina and up hill technical skills, well flowing challenging down hills. it also give you the opportunity to test your nerve on the last section of omega man with some well designed jumps/drop offs etc, each of which have a easier red bypass path to the side if they're too extreme for you.

Soooooooo fun!

Review:
I love this trail its so fun, full of jumps and berms and great singletrack bits. The climbing can get annoying because most of it is on fireroad so it gets boring.
But overall is a really good fun trail and the last section - The omega man is brilliant.
When you have been down the omega man you will want to do it again and again. I have to say the push back up is annoying though :(

Difficult to Tell

Review:
Rode in January 2009 along with Mabie, Dalbeatie, Glentress, Innerleithen & Kirroughtree.

Compared to the others mentioned this was very definitely the worst.

At the time visiting about 50% of the trails were shut & you get diverted onto the fireroad and green/blue trails instead for large sections of the trail.

I'm sure it will be better once the work is finished, but for now it really isn't worth the trip.

Summary:
just go for the omega man section if you want some flow on

Review:
we just cant get enough of the final descent and if you love a nice bit of flow this is the place, yes the jumps could do with been bigger, since if your flying you go to flat on everything but that adds to the fun!!

Starts good, gets better and better

Review:
My first trip to Ae after kicking around the Lakes. Having read the reviews on this site it sounded worth the trip and I wasn't disappointed. Some great singletrack with plenty of flow, rough downhills and some nice climbs. Only complaint was the section where all the trees have been cut down was a tad rough as was The Face. Omega man was awesome! I'm getting better at the jumps and had three runs down the last section as I enjoyed it so much. Deffo on the list for a re-run!
