Summary:
Fabulous proper mountain bike route not just for beginners.
Review:
I did this today with my 9 year old son. He had done it last week for the first time with his dad. It is perfect for fit children or beginners. The uphill is gradual with some fun parts. My son only had to push a couple of times.The downhill is lovely and flowing and there is the opportunity to go really fast.
I regularly ride the red, but am looking forward to coming on my own for a quick blast on the blue after work!
My son can't wait to come here again.

Excellent fun
Review:
This is a local trail for me so I find I can get up ther every often. The black isn't anywhere near as fast or technical as CYB as others have said, and yes the first climb may seem a little excessive for what lies ahead by way of the black route.
However, I ride this route for fitness and fun and in that regard it supplies both very well. The long climb can challenge your fitness if you try it in higher gears and then the red/black takes you down some very good tracks where you can push 30 if you really want to.
I'm not the best of riders (in my own opinion) and own a modest hardtail Specialized and albeit a little bumpy in places, the trail is more than doable on this type of bike.
As for the facilities, I can't comprehend how people manage to give it bad press. Parking is £3.50, very reasonable, that is not excessive in today's world. As for the cafe, I have always found staff very pleasant with a smile for every customer and I go here very often.
The food is much better than many pubs and again, how can it be justified a rip off? Decent size bacon and egg butty for a few quid, fantastic coffee, this isnt a greasy spoon with awful food, it really does good food and I for one look forward to the cafe after a ride.
People travel from far and wide to try Llandegla and whilst it doesn't offer as much of a ride as the Marin trail for instance, this place does what it does very well and is always busy. I'd say that's testament to how good it is.

Summary:
Red not Black
Review:
Black run is fast and fun but definately short of the mark to be black. Its hoplessly let down by miles of boring fireroad climbs either side of it.

Summary:
the new section great
Review:
Although the hardcore guys will complain the blue run is not challenging enough the new section of the blue run is fast and seems much longer. Many may disagree but kid downhill is better than the red run in terms of time having fun. In my opinion it is awesome, the only problem being you can get families going slow and being a little out of their depth.
