We don't have much here in the Peaks, so most of it is 'cheeky' so I'm not telling.
Here's a picture of me on it.

The decent from Minch Moor into the Yarrow Valley is most excellent.
Oi! Elliptic.
The first rule about Mendip is you don't talk about Mendip.
The second rule about Mendip is, err.., you'd better have good mud tyres?!
😳
Bat Cave route on Blackamoor
Back route to the Barn on Win Hill
The newly named 'Beasts Brother' off Win Hill (new find)
Lots of not legit stuff in in the Peaks
you'd better have good mud tyres?!
Definitely gonna need them after this weeks rain.. 😯
I'm about to go to the garage to do the necessaries for tomorrow.
May see you guys up there.
Too much choice but recently some top class "cheeky" stuff.. 😉
Its about all there is to ride round here..

'Flightpath' at CyB
Probably my local, Mark of Zorro at the moment. Reachable in a few minutes ride from the front door:
Llandegla
So hard to choose!
This summer I've been really loving Pipedream at Les Arcs.
But I've got to go for my on-my-doorstep option: [url= http://www.whiteroomchalet.com/mtbvideo.htm ]The Thin Red Line[/url]
Caddon Bank at Innerleithen is still right up there too.
Minch Moor is one of my favourites, but is miles away, so local wise, I'm loving a cheeky one on Pitch Hill, with a couple of doubles and a near vertical descent onto a fireroad. Fast, technical and exciting.
I was thinking about this yesterday when I was out on the trails. There's some trails around Glasgow which I'm very sentimental about and would probably call as my UK favourites. More for the good times than the trails themselves though.
Other than that I have to say it's this trail, (click for the video if you want)

I've been finding and clearing small sections so that the whole descent is now perfect. I ride it a lot at lots of different speeds and it's fantastic. I've coached learners down it and had Rowan Sorrel nonchalantly buzzing my back tire when I was going as fast as I could possibly go!
Cheeky, sneaky, not telling!
A
Hitman, Nelson, BC
Sumo's arse into Morzine!
elliptic scalextric is that towards crooks peak or the other direction ?
Probably Grannys Garden in Les Arcs. Not sure about UK really. I think I've ridden Bowderdale, which was ace. I do prefer me singletrack to be wooded though really.
Bart's Track at Innerleithen. Or (complete opposite) the descent off Minchmoor on XC trail.
i have my local fave - but it takes 2hr45' riding to get to.
so worth the effort however 😀
my other fave is super g into hit squad - i love the speed and flow.........:D
for me it's all about the singletrack........
how i dream of dusty trails........ 🙁
Quantocks, north side of frog combe. A thin ribbon of slightly DH singletrack that can be ridden flat out, off the brakes as fast as you dare.

The blast back through blacka through the ford near dore, untill they went and stuck a gate in the middle of it :0(
Iron Keld descent in the lakes, it's got everything however fast you want to hit it.
Peatpits wood and is about to be destroyed 🙁
This, it's over 30mins!

Merlins',Hanchurch Woods.Excellent in both drections,rooty,tricky,fun.The day I don't enjoy it,I''ll pack it in.
parkin clough is my fave tech singletrack at the mo, loving the first moorland section from win hill down towards the res for a less scary but still fast and flowy fix.
High as a kite at Nant Yr Arian.
youll never catch me, im the gingerbread man
Headless Chicken.
Sidewinder @ Penhydd, Afan. Flat out fun 🙂
Mushroom Picker, Bike Village, France.
Steep, flowy, technical, one of those where you're pretty happy to clean it at all and when you manage to piece it all together at speed, you feel like ten men.
****in love it
Deer fence at Mabie, or final blast down the Marin as fast as poss.
in the uk one of my faves has got to be caddon bank for just good old plain easy fun
