Red Cycle Route

5 Stars

Rode this route on Sunday. Rode it before too. Very nice route, pretty easy (if you do this stuff a lot) but good twisty turns in the tight sections and nice sloped embankments. The distance is good enough to get you going. Like it and will be doing it again!

Hadn't ridden the red for about a year. New bike got me back up there. And it made me wonder why I ever stopped. Some nice technical parts, some easy fast sections, corners with trees right on the apex just waiting to grab a shoulder and spit you off the trail, if not the bike! A nice mixture of terrain, roots and mud, hard pack gravel, single track, and more open stuff. A level of fitness is required as it is 11m. But that said, if you wanted to plod around it, then you could. It is nicely signed, so no chance of getting lost. My only negative comment is to do with walkers. I'm not against them, but please, don't walk the red. It's a bike route. I encountered 2 lots. One of which had dogs. Dogs and bikes do not make a happy mix, Swearing ensued on both sides. Which I'm sure spoiled the day for both parties. To sum up though: A great trail. Well maintained. Suitable for all levels except absolute beginners. Have fun. Enjoy :)
