Mabie Red route.
The Mabie red route flatters to decieve somewhat being a mixture of easy angled climbs and with fairly tame rock or root obstacles on the descents. Descender bender and the new berms are probably the fastest part of Mabie, but they lack interest for me at least. The woodland singletrack never seems to have any rewards, being just a mixture of fairly nondescript, twisting and undulating singletrack with seemingly no purpose and it lacks any surprises.
For me the sections near the end were sodden and hub deep in mud making it a bit of an anti climax.
I would say this would be an ideal trail centre for the inexperienced or for people who just want to stretch the legs.
What do you like?
Easy climbing and route finding. Cafe. Good place for novices or families.
What could be improved?
Not exciting, steep or technical enough. Not worth a couple of hours drive unless you ride AE on the same day
Would you recommend?
*Yes*
