Needs a good blue

This is my local trail, and I ride it often. I'm not sure that FTD needs to be a red, the length and a lot of the trail would lend itself to being a fun blue. There are elements which would be beyond it, but these are the parts which don't really fit the character of the area anyway - e.g. Werewolf drops and Stegosaurus, seeing as they are comprised of imported rock, which isn't a natural feature of the chase. I think the overall loop (it's hard for me to see the Monkey as separate from the Dog) is very good, and keeps the interest coming through out. It's starts off almost immediately on singletrack, and has some great singletrack climbs and descents - although it could do with more, and switching out those fire road climbs.

What do you like?

Near my house Good fun Resilient to the bad weather Variety of lengths possible lots of other bits to do locally on top

What could be improved?

Needs a good blue trail Isn't really 2 routes, it's one with a shorter option Fire road climbs

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
