A good introduction to Trail Centre Singletrack with nothing too technical and not a lot of elevation.

Kitchener's Rocky Drop

Highlight • MTB Park

Small rocky drop with alternative routes to avoid. Nothing to worry about, can look more than it is as you approach at speed around the corner for the first time.

Tornado Alley Trail, Sherwood Pines

Highlight • MTB Park

One of the best bits at Pines, go all out and give it some beans, power up the short climb in the middle and drop down onto the fire road

Tip by

11.9 km

Death Valley Trail

Highlight • MTB Park

A section that starts out quite mild and fast flowing that all of a sudden turns into technical switchbacks with choices of which route to take... good for a bit of mate racing.

January 26, 2023,Clipstone Forest - Outlaw & Robin Hood Trails AXS Test

Pines is the perfect place to test out your bike after fitting new bits. Two different laps around the forest never too far from the car 🔧🪛
I've just replaced my drivetrain & upgraded to Eagle AXS ⚙ (wireless shifting) taking advantage of the massive discounts on bike components after the Covid madness. The online suppliers appear to be overstocked …

December 7, 2022,Clipstone Forest - Outlaw & Robin Hood Trails

Remodelling & renaming of the trails at Sherwood Pines has now been completed. The Blue trail has a completely new start at the rear of the bike shop with a new first section derived from the end of the old Red, running in the opposite direction.
Crisp ❄️ & sunny 🌞 day, empty Car Park, perfect for a blast round …

September 23, 2021,Pines Red & Blue - Tyre Test - Minion

Another bone dry & beautiful day at Sherwood Pines, Car Park almost empty.
This time I tried the lighter and more flexible EXO casing Minion DHF in MaxGrip compound.
Magnificent! - found my perfect tyre combination, really enjoyed a fast run through the woods.
High Roller II EXO MaxTerra on the back, 18psi(F) 20psi(R) [Tubeless] seems spot on, both myself …

June 20, 2024,Clocking up 4,000 mls on Komoot - Blast round Pines

Notching up 4k mls on Komoot with a fun blast on the Outlaw & Robin Hood Trails, small fry to the roadies! Near perfect conditions, trails running fast and empty so no stopping for photos😁

All mention of "Kitchener" seems to be gone along with the automatic car park app/barriers, all done with cameras now & Card Payment ONLY. Two …

September 21, 2021,Pines Red & Blue - Tyre Test - Mary

Bone dry at Pines.
Tried a Magic Mary Purple (Ultra Soft) on the front with a Super Gravity casing. However, this is not really ideal for trail riding as it is so heavy & tough.
Ended up with 16psi in it to try and get more compliance. I'll be taking it back off tonight and going back to Maxxis EXO …

May 16, 2025,Pines - Outlaw & Robin Hood - TruTune

Blast around Pines Red & Blue to test the TruTune Fork Insert. Trails bone dry, fast running and in good nick, the Blue "Robin Hood Adventure" is flippin' fast, very enjoyable when the Trails are empty😁

The front of my bike is very light/not using full travel, I'm already running no Tokens (volume spacers) and minimum pressure. Added the TruTune …

June 19, 2023,Pines Red & Blue - New Wheels & Cranks Test

New, old stock, Carbon Wheels and New, new stock, hollow aluminium Cranks (FSA KFX) saved 3/4 Kg off the bike and less inertia. A blast around my favourite Test Track, never too far away from the car, to make sure everything was OK and build confidence.
The new Blue trail is mega quick and apart from being a bit warm, …

March 29, 2022,Pines Red & Blue

After a bit of a bike strip & rebuild, the perfect place for a shakedown is Pines on a cool & damp day. No puddles or mud, perfect for another all-action thrash through the woods.
Constantly being maintained to handle the weekend traffic, there is now more bermage, meaning it's getting even faster!
