A great trail centre! The blue, red and black loops are all amazing and well maintained!
The black in particular is a really long trail with some pretty big climbs and technical sections, McMoab being a great challenge however you don't want to try it in the wet! And the downhills are long and fast,
With a new visitor centre now open year round the facilities are excellent!
Overall a great couple days of riding can be done here!
I didnt research to much as i like to just try new trails and see for myself, first ride and we picked Kerroughtree. We started off doing the red twister then half way round you ve got to make a decision wether to just finish the red twister or add on the Black Craigs which adds around 8-9 km but i can assure you its well worth it. Not just for the Mc moab but what happens after is a lung busting ride up Heartbreak hill rewarded by what seems like mile after mile of slightly down hill twisting, technical rolling singletrack, i absolutely loved it i cant wait to go back.
so much to trail to ride down at Kirrie, the black is a leg/lung buster. The red is technical in places but rewarding, and then there is the unofficial extended Red route that we locals use...
over all Kirrie is a brill day out for all the family.
and loads of off Piste trails there :-)
What could be improved?
the Diversions in place at the moment cut a fair bit of the trails out..
Rewarding XC trail when you combine the Red and Black it's probably one of the toughest days out at a trail centre short of doing constant laps of Laggan on an 80mm Hardtail.
Great mix of terrain types, and McMoab is just amazing as is the view from the top of the Black (you have to work for it)

Rode it after a month and a half off the bike due to injury, was cramping all the way back up the road!
In my opinion best 7stane. Red route trail challenging. Even on the wettest day you are relatively dry. Well thought out and natural. If you are expecting a trail that is as smooth as a motorway this is not the trail for you.
The local bike shop is not only helpful but so so friendly.

After over a year of diversions, the regulars can see light at the end of the tunnel. New visitor center is opening in the next few weeks.
