I spent a weekend in Inners on the uplift, it's worth it also spent time at Glentress didn't ride the trails much seeingas I had a DH bike but if you have one they are worth it and the play park is ok for adays riding. I got bored doing some of the stuff and decided going warp speed would make thing interesting and it did til I almost killed myself on the ladder drop landing to flat.

Hello mate - spent a week up there a few years back doing the stanes - all the books n that cover the trails well but here is my take

Kirroughtree - the best trail centre ive ever been to period - miles of sweeping goodness - some bits make u feel like ur in lord of the rings with their misty mossy lushness!
Mabie - good fun - the shore is fun - fairly short
Ae - didn't rate it - fireroad climbs were rubbish - might have gotten better
Glentress & Innerleithen - superb - 2 days worth here - black on glentress is fab and quite remoteand the final downhill to the bottom car park is worth sessioning. Innerleithen dh stuff is as good as everyone says
Drumlanrig - loads of roots and good fun.
