Im moving to Tarland soon, looking forward to checking this place out. I normally prefer steep and tight(like innerleithen), but will still be good to have this on my doorstep

Thanks so much

I seem to be in the minority of riders that felt underwhelmed by Tarland. Maybe it’s because I know the quality of riding available in Aberdeenshire so a theme park of berms and smooth trails seemingly built to appeal most to E Bikers really didn’t do it for me. Well worth a visit if in the area riding the myriad of naturally built trails but once was enough for me. Still great views and seems to be bringing them in so thats a positive.

Hey its completely normal. Everyone is different and most are picky about there type of riding. I really ride a greate mix and appreciate moste peoples point of view. I have also heard that its allready very loose and full of breaking bumps which has diminished its perfection

I loved it although i think id get bored quickly. Hope theres room for a tech trail in there somewhere.

Have a look at this video. Some tech just up the road kzread.info/dash/bejne/hqV22KSGlpizitI.html

You missed the best trail - Spine was closed when you were there, but open now, and it's really great. Bigger features. More smiles. You had a nice day for it, certainly.

How many batteries did you get through for 6 hours of biking there? I did Tarland a few weeks ago and only got about 2-1/2 hours from my 750 battery

I had two batteries. One new 750wh on old 500wh that's giving out about 400wh now. I would have managed 45 miles on both but the ruined tyre ended it at ,5200 feet of climbing

I’m going

It's a long climb but like everything else there very well built. It's steady the whole way never getting steep at any point.

Best by far is a long shot. What about Bike Park Wales etc etc etc. Loads more variety as well not just berm upon berm

BPW is a bike park not a trail centre! So it's not in the comparison. Trail centres just to clarify are free to ride!

Understand your point, and putting aside bike park/trail centre bit, it’s a subjective comment. But that said Lazy MTB Rider (thanks for the vid BTW) is right to be so enthusiastic about it. I’ve ridden both and they’re very different - BPW definitely has less flow but more variety and much more challenging blacks but honestly Tarland (I live thirty mins away) is well worth the visit if someone of beginner/intermediate ability wants something bermy, very well designed and constructed with doable doubles and jumps. And while it’s new, no braking bumps

@@emotioneering It's not subjective though, there are very clear delineations - bike parks have uplift services and charge to ride. There is no uplift at Tarland and in Scotland you can only charge for uplift, not for access to the trails. The UK (and Scotland in particular) needs much more of this. Nevis Range should step up.

So no uplift what about, Toilets, Showers, Bike wash, Cafe, Camping, Bike shop? Ok the trails are good, does it have any of these though??

It’s a trail centre not a hotel. It’s Scotland’s first proper trail centre so its not going to be perfect, if you want an uplift go somewhere with one or ride an E-bike. As for the cafe and camping facility’s you need to realise what a trail centre is, its for bikes, you want to camp? Goto a camp site. It’s a great trail center beacuse of the trails thats what it was built for, not for camping or anything else.

Give it time, it’s only been open a couple of weeks. There are toilets. Glenlivet can support a cafe so maybe that will come. You would have to look at the numbers first. It’s an impressive place though. Hats off to all involved.
