Great little single track

Wet just changes the ride!

What do you like?

A great trail to challenge you technically and improve your skills. Especially in the wet! Some good lung burn to be had if you go full gas all the way. Great to mix up the blue and red. New blue is getting more all weather parts which will help winter fitness. New blue end has some new fun berm sections. Not an extreme place but great for xc singletrack grins! Which for me is the heart and soul of mtb. Many off piste extras to be had near by if you explore or tag a local. Not sure about some reviews " not enough fast sections" try pedaling faster! If you top ten the last downhill you will be flying!!

What could be improved?

No bike wash. Mind you they just put in a bike stand with tools and a pump. Concreted in. So maybe bike wash coming.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Local Stomping Ground

Its alright.

What do you like?

I guess this is technically the closest trail center to my current household. Doesn't really fill me with excitement I have to be honest - mainly use it to keep the phys levels up. Only ridden the red multiple times which is pretty rooty and in the wet is pretty lethal, but then I do like the technical challenge of it. Some nice descending berms and jumps, some pretty fast flowing parts in the dry. The last bit down into the car park has been revamped and is much better. Very family orientated.

What could be improved?

Gets ridiculously crazy muddy on the trails when wet. No places to rinse bike quickly afterwards. I think they need to add some faster sections into the trail but then I am a bit of a speed freak. Could do with more trails - I believe the blue is being developed though.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Fun rooty singletrack

Only ridden the red route but it brought plenty of smiles with it's fast singletrack. A lot of up down and not too much descending but this is made up for with the amount of roots everywhere. A nice bermy bit towards the end to finish off

What do you like?

Loads of fun roots, lots of berms and a variety of singletrack fun

What could be improved?

Very slippy in the wet

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Constant roots!!!

What do you like?

Easy to access from Southern England, downhill sections, berms jumps and pump sections. Butser hill climb and 35 mph downhill blast (opposite QE II country park).

What could be improved?

Took more tumbles on this route than at any other point in the 10 years I have been riding, constant battle with roots, I have previously ridden IMBA red and black routes (Cannock chase follow the dog etc...) you need full sus bike to get the best from route felt under biked on 100mm travel hardtail. Trail could do with more smoothing out of root sections (some parts have this).

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

QECP RED Trail

What do you like?

I've ridden QECP for many years and in recent times the efforts of the QECP collective have transformed good trails into great trails. The RED trail offers a good variety of single track technical climbs & descents, small jumps culminating in a fun downhill section with medium berms. Any regular riders would soon develop some good skills on the varied terrain which for the beginner can be easily rolled or can be milked for fun by the more advanced riders. Trails are well marked with plenty of parking and a good visitors centre for refreshments.

What could be improved?

The chalky subsoil and off camber rooted trails can be quite slippery in damp conditions.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

QE Country Park

What do you like?

Fun, fast, and flowing. Nice coffee shop at the end. Also doesn't get that busy either so you can sometimes find yourself out there alone, which is great if you want to try and nail that berm or drop off over and over again.

What could be improved?

Blue trail/purple needs an upgrade.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
