    Looks like I might be staying a couple of days near FOD but sadly not on an uplift day. Can anybody tell me if it’s obvious how to get back to top quickly again?

    Are all the trails fun on a trail bike? (Mega with 36’s).

    How many runs am I likely to get in in half a day & what order should I tackle them in? Easiest first please. Or should I just session one trail?

    Half a day you’d get a few in.
    You could warm up with a spin around the Verderers trail, and cane the last descent. Then push up the hill to find the dh tracks.
    There are a few, mostly quite close together.
    Very easy to find them really as its not a big area.

    You can push up in about 15 minutes. More fun to uplift if you can though, save all your energy for the fun bits 🙂

    Just follow the power lines back up the hill, it’s a steep push but worth it!

    The Mega will be perfect. I rode it on my Pitch with 36s and didn’t feel underbiked. Can’t remember the names of the trails but they were all great fun.

    On the subject of your bike – Mega with 36s will be perfect for caning the dh runs, nothing there is too demanding. The new good bad ugly dh has some bigger drops but nothing the mega wont take in its stride

    Always plenty of guys in pyjamas to ask the way to the top too

    The Elbow is the easier route up to most of the DH trails. Ask at the Pedalabikeaway Cycle Centre to point you to The Elbow.

    For DH info have a look see here
