I did the blue there yesterday.
Have you got Strava route for this? Went Cannock today and set off from Takaroo but never came across this stuff
I live just up the road, I am yet to do that drop! Doesn't help being on an XC bike. I'll do it one day.
Finding your video has been great my first time going here a couple days ago i thought i was able to go on black trail right away not realizing how hard it would be i ended up falling off and doing a good ammount of damage to myself😂 cant wait to go bsck and give it another try.
Yeah the black line has a couple of spicy features 😃 I’m glad you managed to come away relatively unscathed from your crash.
You will be pleased to know that the crew will be carrying on the resurfacing work and the lower blue trail will be started this week 👍🏻
Amazing! They have done a great job so far. It will be superb once it is all done. 🎉🎉
Love this trail.
Love watching your vids before my Sunday ride. Keep up the good work. Cheers 🍻
Thanks Stephen, I’m glad they come in handy. Thanks for watching!!
I had some great weather to re-discover the blue flow trail at QECP. This trail has all the flow! Perfect for the hardtail.
It’s short but I really like the blue at Queen Elizabeth!🎉
@@Schwimano yeah it is a lot of fun.
Nice video, watched this before I did the cliff drop ( age 7 ) thank you 👍🏼
Glad you liked the video. If you are doing drops like this at age 7, you have a great riding career ahead of you!
@@bikeandbeyond thank you - just enjoying the ride 🤘🏻
I've taken my old Kona hardtail round these trails a few times as its my local, always a fun time until you gotta head back up that hill to the top! I've also done the big road gap at 1.35, scary stuff on a hardtail! Great vídeo by the way!
Nice work doing it on a hardtail. Perhaps I need to take mine there.
It's dead doesn't even use the terrain properly got all that elevation and still have to pedal.
Been there a couple of times it's a good bit of fun but badly.in need of a good dig team. The grades are so wrong the reds a mellow blues and the black is an extremely mellow red but all good fun and if you're close worth having a look.
Parking in a con £12. Your having a laugh
where do you park for these trails please ?
Hey buddy, great videos. Looks like you're enjoying your bike! I'm looking to get back into MTBing after coming off badly 10 years ago, so am looking for a new do it all stead and I rode the Cube stereo one77 (aka 170) around the bike shop at the weekend. I'm liking the idea of the 170 travel for that sense of security but don't want to loose my ability to enjoy the short sharp rugged uphill bursts that my local in nature tracks demand. What are your thoughts? My alternative would be a trial bike. From everything I read it sounds like this could be considered a long travel trial bike???
Hello mate. Yeah I have this bike for a few years now and it has served me well. My cube stereo is 160 upfront and 150 in the rear. It more of an endurobike, designed mostly for gravity riding but has the ability to climb too. In my experience this is great bike for bikepark jumps and things but can be a real slog on trail centre days. If you are planning on riding loads of big jumps and drops then 170 is great, but if you are planning on riding trails most of the time then a trail bike is probably the best idea. Slightly shorter travel but more snappy and playful. My next bike will likely be a 150 trail bike and I plan to ride it on all the same trails and jumps that I do now. Something like a stumpjumper evo is more than capeable for trail days or trips to bike park wales etc
Due to a life changing injury, I can no longer MTB here, but am thinking very seriously about a Mountain Trike. I would really like to know wether the Blue Run is possible (with the right training,obviously!) Anyone done this? Help.
such a great vid😀

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

And there was me thinking I was the only one who rode his bike in the house 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
Can I ask where you found the routes listed and names? Is there an app that has the trails outlines. Been up there a few times but never knew of particularly trails to follow. Any help would be appreciated, cheers.
@@creativechimp03 I didn’t really have any maps or anything. I typically just go out and have a little explore. I tend to use google maps or Trailforks for a bit of inspiration.
@@bikeandbeyond I didn't even think of looking on Trailforks, perfect thanks!
Too short ... mud in your face😮. Pointless
Hello Pal Ive changed my order to the orbea occam h20. What do you think of this please? Thanks
Full mudguards, wool socks, get on with it.
No such thing as bad weather only bad clothing
@@christians4395 you’ve got that right!👍🏻
Although I have been known to dabble with option one from time to time 😂
😂 option three all the way for me!
100% the right choice 🎉
it's grippier when wet - slippy when dusty
They’ve made it better now
😂 I’m not falling for that again
Adventure, thats what its all about
Hello Pal Love the content. Can i ask. Im thinking of getting a Trek Top Fuel 7 bike. Would you recommend this for mountain trailing? If not what would you recommend please. I am getting this top fuel for under £1900. Thanks
Hey, I have just had a quick look at the bike. Firstly, I’ve had a good experience with trek bikes. In my opinion they are reliable and ride nicely. The Top Fuel 7 looks like a great entry level full sus. If your goal is trail riding and trail centres then this will be a great bike. It has just enough suspension to make the ride smoother and handle a few interesting features. For the price it looks pretty good👍🏻 I always say that going and sitting on it or having a small test ride is the best option to check the fit and feel of it.
Seems great value. You will struggle to find many all day activities for under £100 these days.
Yeah the Bizango should cope with the red and blue absolutely fine. Something downcountry for the peak is definitely a good way to go. I take my endurobike around the peak and it is great on the downhills but not so good on the uphills. A capable trail bike/ downcountry would be much better (the canyon lux looks like a decent bike too). I have been looking at Canyon recently too.
Oh just found this video after your red trails review, these look even better. Gonna head down there, think I'll be aching afterwards since I only have a HT.
Hey Ollie, great vid. Thinking of heading over there from the Peaks, running a 2018 Bizango like your old one, think it will handle the trails well? I'm fairly confident on a bike and the trails look pretty flowy? Also, any 2024 thoughts on sub £2500 FS bikes? I can't decide being in the peaks if a downcountry bike like a Canyon Lux Trail will be best as although I tackle stuff like Jacobs Ladder etc and it's short travel, there is so much climbing around here so all my rides end up being hill fests. What are modern FS trail bikes like to climb on?
ive been here 3 times now and its so fun it would be sick to do some big riding on the left side of the black. this place is sick
Great vid . The trail you came off on is pretty steep to be fair . Great fun though . The trail straight after I haven’t ridden (yet) but it’s in my list now for sure👍
Do you have a strava route or gpx i could look at to get bearings of where the trails are?
Hi Scott, unfortunately I don’t think I do. I usually forget to start my Strava. Quite a few of the trails were really easy to find (off the main fire roads etc) but we ended up riding all over the place. There are plenty there to explore. Might be worth checking out Trailforks or something for a bit of an idea where to search.
Thank you for replying, trailforks is a good shout!
Went here today 😁
Wow ! I have the same story as you, even though I have one less joint in my foot (very bad motorcycle accident in 2017). I looked for information and there are very few testimonials like yours. Very nice video, I will subscribe and watch it all :) Greetings from France.
I used to ride Llandegla before the trail centre opened, it’s great to see how the trail centre has developed over the years, it’s all down to the staff at Coed Llandegla, enjoy the trails, I now live in Australia and we are 20 years behind the uk!
Snakebite screams coed y brenin to me, love that trail
SAFETY! Bike in back are 30 pound flying murder devices in a car crash. PLEASE SECURE YOU BIKE WELL
Another cracking video 👍. How about doing one on trail etiquette? Yet again this weekend I was barrelling down a trail only to have two riders pushing their bikes back up it! Keep up the good work 👌
Yeah that’s not a bad idea. That sort of thing happens quite a lot.
Maintenance - the only work they've done in the last 3 years has been to add rollers to the top of the jumps on the bridge line. All that's done is made them worse, and impossible to ride. The owners only care about the cafe now, and even that's not great. Some of the food reviews are horrendous. The knuckles on all the tables on the red trail are just ridiculously daft too. Totally unneccessary. The place has huge potential, they just need a couple of people with strimmers and shovels, and maybe a week of spare time over the course of a year.

What pads are you wearing bud
Depending on where I am riding I either use my 7IDP Flex pads or my Fox Enduro D30
I love this trail just need to learn to jump better now
Yeah it’s a good one. Great for jump practice
