I went up Thursday afternoon and it was totally gridlocked – the police trying to sort the traffic out. Loads of people walking on the trails. The red run has gone partly because it was too tricky for the 'average' rider they are catering for now – and because the funding for the new trail was provided on the basis that it would replace the red run.

I agree with Shinythings, the new trail isn't exactly technical, but it's a great flat out blast, especially in the dark, and a good after work/training ride.

So has anyone actually tried the old red run? They were digging out the top the other day, but I can't imagine they've flattened the whole lot.

You never know, it might actually improve it if it's returned to nature, and gets a bit more 'rugged' 🙂
