The thing is they looked, well, errrrr dull. It was just featureless, smooth singletrack apart from inners which looked rocky and fun.
What’s the appeal with them to “seasoned” mountain bikers?? Surely the rocks of the peaks etc are more of a challenge??
Here’s a crazy idea, why not try actually riding a few and decide for yourself? Videos tend to flatten/smooth stuff out – sometimes they are actually dull, but then so are bridleways.
As above – I generally go to them when I’m with a mixed ability group, sometimes people need to hire bikes, and it’s good for people to be able to hang around and get a coffee etc.
That said, I’d ride the last bit of the Climachx trail over most bridleways.
