Checking in - hit up all the blue runs (limited to xc bike right now)
1: surprisingly good for a green run.
2: medium climb that isn't too long (maybe I had fresh legs) the return downhill is pretty good I washed out once due to the buckets of soft sand at awaiting after the table top.
3: Nice intro to the park smooth and silky - some minor techy climbing back up.
4: Same as 4 practically
7: This was probably the hardest on I did on the day with clown wheel bikcycle and not enough cush. The climb caught me out twice and some of the downhill bits were a little too much for my bike (user error haha)
10: had to find this one a bit but once there it's a nice tidy loop
6: Much easier climb than 7 but only gets you part way to the top.
9: Crashed here in slow motion but it's a nice loop too.
When the bouncy bike returns I'll give the blacks a shot but the grading is on the harder side for XC folks. Aside from that that trails are mad and the climbs are well designed so you get tired but definately feels like one of the better bang for buck up/down ratio courses.
The cons are minor points but the place is quite exposed so you'll need sunscreen etc. Also if you are like me and suffer hayfever, wait until after spring. I sneezed the whole ride and my throat burns now. The grass there is nasty! Also the prickly plants you shins will inevitably collect so I'd recommend thigh high socks minimum lol. My shins are pretty itchy now haha.
On a side note: what sort of tyre do you guys recommend for sort sandy terrain? It was the only bit I had trouble with. Everything else gripped, just user was a bit ham fisted lol.
