    Awesome work you guys have been doing! QE has always been one of my favourite places to ride, especially in the dry. However, with the work you have done I'd go as far as to say I prefer it to the Surrey Hills. QECP's trails are much more single track like with ribbons of dirt cutting through the trees, Surrey hills trails do seem to get wider and wider as they struggle to cope with traffic.

    For anyone who lives in the South, especially between Southampton and Chichester then QECP has to be the place to go, on a dry day it would be well worth the trip from London.
    It\'s not your aptitude but your attitude that determins your altitude

    My first time on the red trail in the dry since the improvements have been made yesterday - hats off lads, you've done a cracking job.

    Love the new sections especially the last run down to the car park

    Rode it last week, this is now a great little trail with plenty to think about, short sharp climbs and fast descents. I shall be riding this on a regular basis, well done to those involved.
  • Had a go a few weeks ago just after the heavy rain. the trial was awesome
