Very Good
Review:
This trail comes off the side of the Dog, before joining back on again. As soon as you turn off the Dog, the singletrack gets thinner and is immediately fast and flowy. The trail has loads of big, tiring uphills, but the decent on the other side is just amazing. With a bit of everything thrown in, from jumps, berms, rollers, stumps and grooves, this trail really does suit every type of rider. I would definitely recommend that any Mountain Biker who lives close by, or is a regular to the Chase, should go check it out :)

Good XC trail
Review:
My local trail. A good mix of surfaces, both uphill grinds with some flowing,(if a little short)downhill, bits of technical,narrow single track. Good bike shop with helpful staff, friendly mtb'ers out on the trails. A good general XC trail, more jumps,drop offs,northshore etc planned next year to make it more fun for more experienced riders/or more challenging to build on your skills.The trails drain well so its good for winter riding, the forest is a fair size and if you search around there are lots of deer runs, technical singletrack, drop offs gnarly sections etc. just follow the locals and theres always the new Monkey Trail if you feel of the downhill at Stile Cop if you fancy more of a challenge

Enjoyable XC Trail
Review:
Rode this trail yesterday for the first time, Really enjoyed myself. Fun first section tight and twisty with some good speed runs. The middle section was a little tough due to the trail being quite boggy after heavy rain (and my lack of fittness). The last part i found nice and flowing but again very boggy. Cant wait to go back and ride the trail again when its dry.

Cracking run on our doorstep (almost)
Review:
What the Brum/midlands has wanted for ages(as Brum is mainly a pancake). More strenuous XC ride the the normal "dog", also making the "dog" run a good distance trek with the welcome additional miles. The trips to Wales and Peak district no longer need to be so frequent for this style of trek, (Locally anyway)
The climbs give satisfaction and even greater reward going down. Most enjoyable, even for us old folks.

ok

the first half is good, and quite a lot of fun, but after you meet the monkey, it's lame. the rollers at the end are ok.
