Dodge the Dogs

Two great red-graded trails with a focus on fast flow and jumps, looked after by a mix of volunteers and local council.  Sections of the south trail was built with the Farmer Johns team.  There are also some 'unofficial' trails in a separate area and some much less fun blue trails in the valley.

Good points:

Reasonably well maintained, fast, fun trails with a steep but paved uphill path in between.  Good for all skill levels as the largest features are avoidable and all others are rollable.

Bad points:

Dogs and walkers, while there are a few tiny signposts saying that the trails are bike only there are often dogs and walkers wandering on the trails.  Fortunately this is usually on the slower sections but I have crashed dodging dogs.

Would you recommend?

yes

Great fun and free

Two nice red trails and some OK blues in the park below. These are free, volunteer maintained trails so not a full trail center but a lot of fun.

Good points:

Easy to get to from the M60, two nice flow trails with some decent jumps.

Bad points:

Not a huge amount of variety

Would you recommend?

yes
