Is there a trail centre that is retro?
What's a retro trail then? Mr K's peak ride is retro to me and I was out earlier in the week on some old school xc trails up the road from me, we ended up wet, lost and yomping across field/bogs/rivers, reminiscent of the riding I did before the advent of trail centres. I had a blast but there is something very appealing about heading off to a trail centre and getting a guaranteed adrenaline rush on some kick ass trails- if in doubt get yourselves to Glentress in October and see what I mean.
In scotchland we are very lucky to have an abundance of hills and indeed trail centres are pretty thick on the ground however IMHO most of them don't get the best out of the older early nineties bikes that I like and are set up for a more modern bike. I would say that Drumlanrigg is an exception but wondered if you had any thoughts on the trail centre/mt bike mecca's in your area- retro friendly or not?
On a seperate point, would/could we get a sticky with reviews of trail centres/rides across the country as a reference point and spur to get out and ride them? The five flaming chillies model?
