Loved comrie from the first visit and seeing it grow over the years is always good, looking forward to seeing how it progresses in the future.
What do you like?
The trails have great flow yet still feel natural even though it's a trail centre. The red/black loop up top of the hill is brilliant, you can feel miles away from anywhere yet still be in easy reach of the centre at the bottom of the hill. The car park doesn't cost a fortune but donations are always welcome and the trails are never overly busy, so no waiting about at the trail head and best of all, the climb isn't a killer! The new bike shop and farm shop are also very good, the bike shop for its size has everything you could possibly need, they also have a workshop and do bike hire. There's a great skills park too and a bike wash for keeping your steed looking pretty.
What could be improved?
Cafe shut for the winter but it is opening in the spring and going to be bigger and better.
Great fun that includes different levels of riders. Lots to try and also good to develop skills on as well. New bike shop and farm shop are really nice with helpful staff too. Will be back for more riding throughout 2017 for sure!
Definitely my favourite trail centre, for the reasons listed above.
What do you like?
Very natural feeling trails, despite being a "trail centre".
You can link the trails to make a decent length ride.
Very cool bike shop.
Eco-attitude is evident.
Skills loop is great for wee ones (and not so wee ones).
What could be improved?
Wish it was bigger.
Would be nice to have the cafe open all year round.
Very compact trail network with lots of opportunities to mix and match red/blue/black and secret old stuff!
Top red route is my favourite - sometimes go up there and do 3 or 4 laps. Blue is a blast with just about anybody and is great for kids. The top blue is very blue going on red. Some of the red is red going on black but as long as you know that it is fine. Some of the old trails from the original Hairy Coo route are also excellent.
Then there are the trails heading out for some 'old school' riding in all directions.
Cafe is now open much more often and the bike shop is excellent in that they actually fix stuff!
If you fail to have a good time then there is something wrong with you.
What do you like?
For such a small place, they have packed the trails in. There is something to challenge any rider and plenty of variation to keep you coming back for laps of their wee hill. There are loads of cool trail features from tailor made bridges, big slabs of bedrock, river gaps, as well as the usual kind of tech, flow and jumps. Great cafe too.
