Can off-piste MTB trails change my mind about Dalby?
Спорт
Never been a big fan of the Dalby Red Trail, the downhills aren't worth the climbs in my opinion but now that I have an emtb I thought i'd go looking for the off piste trails and see if they change my mind.
Met a guy called Chris (thanks for showing me around and sorry for wrecking your normal ride) at the top of the first trail (Foxgloves or no gloves) and he very kindly offered to show me around some of his favourite off piste trails (he rides them regularly).
The first couple of trails were a bit of a struggle, partly because they were so wet and slippery and partly because I was riding them blind but then got into the swing of things.
Kept going until I was down to 1 bar (to be honest I was knackered by that point anyway) and then left Chris to carry on with his ride.
It was awesome! Some of the trails were exactly my preferred type of mountain biking, steep and technical. Definitely changed my mind about Dalby and will go back soon (maybe when it's a bit drier).

Some Off Piste trails at the trail centres in Wales are MENTAL! Always good to have a local show you around as you never know what feature could be coming up 😂

I've seen your videos of the Welsh trails, absolutely bananas! I was lucky to have bumped into Chris, felt guilty about spoiling his ride having to wait for me but he's a top man.
gotta love them autumn colours though😀
Glad you found the fun stuff 😃👊🏼

Do you have a strava link for this ride? There's a couple of trails on here that I haven't hit but which I love the look of!
