I'm not due to injury but let me know what the trails are like because I'm still confused on what they have to offer there

Nope haven't ridden since January because I've been away from home

it's from stress fractures that gradually got worse and worse because I kept running on them then a chunk of bone snapped off my tibia!

You will have to post tomorrow, I can't work out whether techy xc or full on DH?

2 full on blacks with a proline,2 proper reds,2 blues,and a few other bits n bobs,pump track etc. looking pretty good with fresh trails getting built every year.

'twas very good.

Just back was indeed good although only 1 of the blacks was open,needs a bit more time to bed in in some places and some of the bigger jumps are annoyingly exposed due to tree disease and felling,so can be dangerous in the wind. All in all pretty impressed. Good place to take 2 bikes,half day on the blacks half trail riding.

What bike did you take?

minty1 (Aug 24, 2013 at 9:58)

V10

dmrrider95 (Aug 24, 2013 at 10:27)

I take it you just went for the blacks then? The rest of the trails were all easy enough on a hardtail so I would imagine that being overkill on them?

minty1 (Aug 24, 2013 at 10:48)

I'd still ride the others on the big bike as there's very little pedalling it just wouldn't be as quick.

True, there was one blue with a fairly sizable uphill though.
