Red route ridden yet again. 41 minutes, not bad for big lad
I have ridden trails throughout Europe and North Africa and have been riding in these forests and on these trails for over 40 years and still enjoy it and most importantly I can still find new routes in and around the park. We have a vast array of off road tracks. For those who comment that The Kitchener Trail is not a 'true red' well just ride it faster, enjoy the trees and don't forget it is almost all singletrack. Come and enjoy it for what it is, pay your car parking and help to keep and improve the facilities.
What do you like?
Variety - anyone can ride here and enjoy it. If it becomes to easy then just go quicker. No matter how busy the car park is the trails are never crowded
What could be improved?
Not a bad point, but it lacks real technical trails- not a criticism just a general comment, but it does make best use of the terrain available.
i went and had a ride here while visiting the inlaws, I had read that it was not to technical or challenging, but it is great fun, and you get out of it what you put in.
I had a great time riding two loops of the Kitchener trail, once you are out out the car park area it did not feel busy at all and was good fun riding in the woods.
Well enjoyed this (hard tail xc). Was quite puddley after previous days rain but this added to the fun! have read complaints about having to pedal a lot and not much downhill but to be honest you need to enjoy it for what it is. I actually enjoy pedalling my bike! You can develop your basic xc speed here without too many frights, although the odd tree comes quick after a fast bend. I did the (blue) Verderers in the Forest of Dean which to be honest is far steeper and I guess more "exhilarating" but each ride I find has a quality of its own, this one allows you to burst through the forest!
