Hey, fairly new to all this and have not really done any trail centre riding (can't really class Thetford as anything as its pretty much flat :cry: ) but as I'm now in Warwickshire will be heading over to Cannock this week and just wanting to see what ppl's thoughts are on the place?!

I'm a XC racer really 'tho rode at Wyre forest at the weekend which was great :lol:

Cheers

    I really enjoy it, some technical climbs and sweet decents, especially on the monkey trail. Its a bit potholed at the moment from people riding it in the winter though.

    Wyre is pretty tame :shock: Cannocks far more tecnical...ride both Monkey and Chase...their both superb ! (for cross country...not really a freeride setup...hard tail is enough or short travel XC bike) :D
