テインマスのバイクパーク・トップ7

Top bit technical, then gets faster and flowing. a great down hill

Not for me on my new e-mtb. Chicken'ed out and went around it.

Super fun section of black trail- there are a few technical sections but also some really smooth dirt berms.

Rated as a black trail, suitable for expert mountain bikers, the Ridge Ride Extreme is an extra loop that you can tack onto the red trail or session as you like. It starts with a steep rock garden before a rooty right-hander takes you down a rather natural-feeling trail with a few large roots to navigate. After a flatter rock garden around the next corner, you then hit a smoother, more manicured singletrack trail that flows down the hillside with a series of corners. The way back up is no joke with a steep doubletrack fire road pedal, or should that be push?!

Narly first section

This new trail feature on the red run is a really testing one, with a left hander followed by a rocky, tight right hand turn down to the fire road. You might need a few attempts before you can get it running fluidly, or at least I did!

This is a Devon MTB classic: a long bridleway descent (or climb) from the village of Kenn up to the Cafe side of Haldon Forest Park. It's really narrow with some small, rollable drops so best descended, but pretty fun as a technical climb if you fancy it! In the spring look out for the bluebells, and be warned that in the wet and winter it's more like a stream bed, you will get very wet and muddy!

After leaving the trail centre on the blue-rated Kiddens Trail, this is the first descent on the loop. Zig-zagging down the hillside to the south, this is a brilliant singletrack weaving between tree stumps before a couple of bermed 180 degree turns. Let off the brakes and enjoy, this is one of the best descents at Haldon Forest Park.
