Summary:
Sideways rain and hail
Review:
Totally underdressed for the weather we experienced but still managed to have a superb time. The lower and upper red trails were excellent, but beware of the boardwalk! In that rain you'll have virtually no traction on it and with a 3ft drop off either side you'll have a few hairy moments. The blue trail (which is shown as orange on the track!)has some excellent tight and fast banked corners, perfect for novices. The upper red trail is a bit more technical but ideal for intermediate level riders like myself. All in all you get a superb amount of downhill riding for what seems like a very minor climb. Loved it

Technical but fun
Review:
We had just done the old red track complete with Airs Rock and sessioned the orange/blue track a couple of times (which is well worth doing by the way) and were enjoying a cuppa when word came through that one of our other friends had had a bad spill on the green route would you believe. To cut a long story short it was load him in an ambulance, cart him off to Inverness Hospital and that was the end of that. I was gutted because I was enjoying myself so much.
The old Red route is on the fun side of technical and Airs Rock is a brilliant feature. Intimidating when you are on top but can be got down with no great trauma if you keep your weight back. I was looking forward to trying the new red route and sessioning the orange/blue some more but it was not to be.
My mate despite hitting the trail head first and demolishing his helmet was ok apart from painfull whiplash and a knee gashed to the bone. The doctor commented that he had not seen so much patella since medical school. That aside it was a great day out and I will try to get up there again sometime.

Fast and Fun
Review:
This route has been regraded to Orange throughout. I really found this track to be great fun. It is a combination of fast jumps and berms and the drag up is not so long that you can't cycle up a few times and session it. It definately deserves trying out.
