Um – I can’t actually see myself riding these even when they are open! (That is not false modesty – there is a chicken run of sorts running down the centre so you do not have to ride the walls).
As for me not riding them, I guess many of you may think I may have done but these are actually very near a fireroad so you can just pop down without a bike to have a look.
In fact, it upsets me when people ride unfinished stuff as it is so disrespectful to the builders and also puts the dates back as things need to be repaired.There were some tyre tracks going around the netting to say it wasn’t open, and that cheesed me off but hey ho. I am a local person and this is my home trail centre.
Rudedog – you may want to check with the rangers as there could still be diversions at both those trails – I don’t know what is still ion place though. I think most of Ae is open and you should of course add in The Shredder even if you are both XC riders.
Of course the other thing about Mabie is that there are one heck of a lot of natural trails to ride there too (not walkers paths) but these need a little local knowledge.
