Mix and Match
What do you like?
By far the most complete trail centre in Scotland, although you have to understand what each trail is to get the most out of it.
Upper sections of the black are a Rough remote XC ride, once you've passed the start of Zoom or Bust chances of seeing anyone else are low until you get to the Matrix where you rejoin the Red.
The lower sections of the Black are tech loaded descents, and of course if that's not enough there's some "secret" trails around too.
The Red trail is where the full on fun is, although you can add more by mixing in a loop of the upper section of the Blue to get even more grins in, and then choose your descent, the Red/Black, teccy descent or for maximum grins, hit Good Game and the Admiral, before climbing back up to the middle car park to get the last wee bit of Red/Black in.
What could be improved?
start of the lower Blue is a bit rough for a Blue graded trail, not a problem if you're on a full sus, but a back rattler on a race XC bike.
Being the most popular trail centre probably due to proximity to Edinburgh you get a bit more traffic than is comfortable at times.
Would you recommend?
*Yes*
