mabie...definitely
rode here last year and enjoyed the ride even though it didnt throw anything at you to challenging, one of those places that is perfect for the rider who is just getting into red routes as opposed to the seasoned trail shredder! that being said i would recommend anyone to ride it as there is certainly alot of fun to be had here
What do you like?
smooth flowing
good red and freeride park
What could be improved?
a bit more technical stuff needed
Would you recommend?
*Yes*

Mabie, mabie not
What do you like?
Recently redone parts of the red trail, a lot nicer to ride
The red has a nice variety of track from smooth flowing berms and jumps to some decent rocky and footy sections as well
The cafe is great with really friendly staff
The 4x is a good laugh for a couple hours of messing around as well
What could be improved?
The orange (kona dark side) is closed pretty much permanently and no not in good repair, although The Race Track is still okay but it's a very long way from any of the normal trail
Would you recommend?
*Yes*

Decent
Only really a couple of stand-out bits on the red route, its good but not excellent. Descender Bender is generally pretty good but the new makeover it got last year feels a bit too artificial I think it is The Elevator that is particularly good and the last wee bits of descent. The Northshore stuff has always been wet or otherwise closed when I have been there but I would love to give it a shot at some point.
What do you like?
Great skills and freeride park and mini 4X is good fun
Decent red route
Always a good day out
What could be improved?
Wish there was a bit more for more advanced riders and not just Northshore like more techy trails
Would you recommend?
*Yes*

^georgegibsonclark1989:
Great red loop and fun 4x track. Don't waste your time on the dark side though. It isn't maintained very well and it is generally way way too techy for your average rider. I have gone through far too many rear mech hangers up there and the shore is miles away from the trail center- it's a long walk back!
Descents on the red loop are fast, fun with plenty of big berms and a couple of neat jumps.
The cafe make genuinely good coffee which is a rarity in Dumfries.
What do you like?
Red loop
4x track
skills loop
cafe
hidden trails
What could be improved?
sippery north shore
shortness of red loop
Would you recommend?
*Yes*

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*
