Yeah, it’s OK. 

The Blue is really a green and the Red is really a good blue

What do you like?

The Red - new rock features at Madgett’s Pit, The Beast

Virtually all of the Blue route. In fact, I prefer it over the Red. Most of flows well, and there are great higher speed sections in proximity to the trees. The faster you go, the more there is to be had 

What could be improved?

I appreciate that it may have been done because of the high volume of traffic, but some of surfaces are absolutely terrible. Putting loose stones on top of hard pack is a recipe for crashes, especially when they insist on doing that in most of the berms. Just sweep them after they’ve been built!! 

There are also a couple of sections on both the blue and red that are very sandy in dry weather. These would benefit from laying a hardback surface 

In relation to the red route, there are couple of sections that weave through the trees but, as they’re up hill, they ruin the flow. It would better to find an alternative uphill and then bring riders down those sections WITH gravity. Add in a couple of small jumps and drops, and it could be great! 

Would you recommend?

yes
