hi guys, Just thought id post a bit about the red route Just come home form a week at the nevis range on both routes from the top of nevis range, witches trails and Wolf Trax. The red route is great there are some long board walk sections but these are very technical, with adverse camber, drops steps and even table top jumps built into them. Loads of fun and hard enough. There is one rock graden that is on a corner and uphill where most people were pushing but its only a legnth of about 30 feet so no bother really. The rest of the downhill is good chanllenging rocky decents, small drop offs (30cm) and technical sections. The last section into the car park is a little week but only short so can be forgiven as the rest is so much fun. I picked up the Black route at this point and continued down the world cup route into the car park (be warned though this way included gap jumps and unavoidable drops of about 10ft. The red route is a good place to gain confidence in your downhill skills Be warned, if you are expectiong a nice easy red route ride this is not it!!! Some sections are more black than red, and when i was there there were a few pissed of XC riders that had come to nevis range for a red route similar to Wolf Trax of seven stains, this is not the case. I would advise full suspention and full face helmets to get the most out of this course. Thanks |
