How’s about you and the other “haterz” provide some constructive criticism and ideas on what you would like to do to improve the trail
1) more climbs like the first one – bloody great bit of trail that, i’d rather climb on trails like that than on a chairlift. Trails like that are cheaper than a chairlift too.
2) downhills that make better use of the height (ie, longer).
There is a family run business having leased the shop/cafe relying on visitors.
Then Ae needs a 10k swoopy blue – to bring in the noobies/kids/families. People who are happy, even grateful, to spend some time in a warm cafe after a ride.
the current blue is completely crap, all the families and kids are going to Glentress (Mabie, this also applies to you).
Ae attracts downhillers and locals, people who are happy to eat a pot noodle in the back of their ply-lined T5, or eat when they get home.
would i take a group of noobies to Ae? – no, we got to Glentress or Cannock.
Build a long swoopy blue*, and they will come.
(*you could even call it a red, so the snobs don’t mind riding it)
