Riding the New Blue Trail at Sherwood pines (on my Voodoo Bizango Pro)

It’s always exciting to ride a brand new mountain bike trail. This is the new blue trail at Sherwood Pines. I jump on my Voodoo Bizango Hardtail to find out if they have they done it justice. Is it bad or is it rad? I guess it is time to find out.

Just done 2 loops of the new blue a couple of hours back. Very fair review. If you are experienced and expect excitement you won’t get it but if you want to use it as a training ride then it’s good, it reminds me of an XC short route with a few basic berms. What is great however is that it can be the perfect trail to introduce people to riding more twisty terrain because with it not being that fast there is no real danger (I passed many families today which was nice to see kids learning it). Good effort by the team with the terrain they had to work with. The red albeit basic for a red is still considerably faster in sections but it would be nice to see this approach taken on new red sections as I’m convinced they can make more of those based on what they have done here.

I live local and i agree that the blue is more of an XC trail. I take my 11 year old nephew and we have a great time. There is a bench about half way round near the railway bridge that we have a break at and have a sandwich.

Good review. It’s great when trails get a spruce up.

Nice! I’m headed for the Pines next weekend! I don’t mind the “red” trail though, some fun sections on there

Great review on the blue! Did you also ride the red trail on this visit? It's had a few upgrades since your previous video...

Would be interested to see what you think of hopwas as I'm thinking of heading there at some point

A lot has certainly changed in the 10 years since I last visited! Just picked up a Bizango myself and live near here, so I'm looking forward to getting back into it. Appreciate this video a lot.

Btw, my gears on the Bizango came all out of whack, and even taking it back to the store, they still haven't managed to fix the issue; have you had any such problems? To note, it's a not the pro, but the standard model.

I would suggest you look into Matlock black rocks and shinning cliff woods if your living locally

Is the blue trail better than the red?

[bassnut]

Mate, if you think Sherwood Pines is flat, you’ve never been to High Lodge!!!

The red trail there is barely a green.
