significantly better, longer, and more physically demanding than anything I've done in North Wales

Satisfy

The first 30 - 40 minutes of climb is designed to really test you. It's not actually hard, but if you are unfit, it will catch you out. Once at the top the black run is sweet. Drop your sadle all the way down, jump the table tops and flow off the drop offs and through switch backs (it's a little rocky). Quick climb back up, then back to single track, a few more little drops, bit of north shore and then the sweet final decent. Takes XC riders 1 - 1.5 hours. Cafe is great, showers and a top spec bike shop. Great day out.

The first time I rode Skyline was this summer. The climb is the same as Whites level and is a good 30 - 50 slog but stick it in middle ring and just turn your wheels, your get to the top eventualy after the final switch back. Once at the top it can be a little windy but the trees keep you nicely sheltered. The trail is a mixture of fire roads and wooded sections. The final decent is a wrist/bone rattler, it is fantastic. It is a really fun ride and the views are fantastic. I am an XC rider and ride about 60 miles a week after work. It took me and a friend just over 3 hours to get round. We took full sussers, 3 litres of water, full backpacks with spares, phones and lots of energy packs. Once you get to the wind turbines take in the view. But you will then notice that you are a good 4-5 miles from the trail centre. Brilliant day out ride, good cafe, showers, toilets and a fully stocked bike shop. NOT FOR UNFIT RIDERS

a word of advice, dont try taking a kona stinky DH bike up the first climb. its painfull and not very clever. once you do get to the top of the 1st long climb its fun all the way.
