c’mon guys, lets face it, secrets and lies has been a mud hole all year. Never got the warmth to really dry it out, to a point that even i dont ride it anymore. Thing is, when its dry it holds up to traffic really well.
Broon trout used to be a very cool trail but has been slightly harvested lately. Worth missing nowadays
Now if you want to ride just open fireroad but get plenty of miles in doing it ( and add some nice fast descents in), head over to the windfarm . loads of miles of stuff there, all fireroad, but good miles of stuff and very scenic.
At transmitter station, highest point in black route, as you start heading downwards there’s a fireroad on your left ( after about 20 metres). Take that then at first t-junction you can go right for a massively fast 8 – 10 minute downhill to the valley bottom or, you can go left then first right and follow the main fireroad all the way to the bottom. When you get there, after many switchbacks, keep going straight at t-junction and follow that fireorad climb all the way to windfarm. Loads of stuff up there
