Whilst it's been a few years since I've done the Black, I much prefer it to the Red - loads quieter for one thing. My favourite hybrid route, that includes one of the better Black descents; Ride the...

However, I will always, always take Good Game down as the last descent rather than the traditional red/black last section.WTF?? You miss the joys of Falla Brae to go down that smoothed out pish!

I didn't like deliverance on a hard tail but liked it last time i rode it on the full susser.not so keen on good game either - the falla brae is much more fun for me.

Good Game is fun for the occasional jumpy-bumpy thing but Falla Brae is a much better trail as long as my legs have the energy for the climb in the middle. The Trailfairies worked on the black section...

I'd do the black round to the start of Deliverence, ride on past a go find Broon Troot. Best bit at GT by far. And it'll pop you back out onto the black.

If you've done inners, technical wise the GT black will be fine. pack some flapjack and do it!It does rattle you on the hardtail:-)

For me the black is more about endurance than skill, and there is nothing too bad, just one or two very short sections you may need to walk down. As for Deliverance, I had had great expectations, but...

You'll find broon easily enough Jordie if you explore or ask someone there. Not to sound precious about it, but it's not an armoured trail (actually pretty soft) and is in amazing nick considering....

We did it Saturday afternoon (after the red in the morning), but climbed using the red and short-cutted through to the top of the Boundary Trail. Followed black thru to the top of Redemption and then...

IMO good on a full suss with reasonable fitness. sore and jarring on a hardtail. not really any more tecky than the red until wormhole etc as said earlier, and that is just a wee short bit of rocky...

Broon Troot overrated IMHO.Muddy ,rooty ,slippy ,twisty,technical yes,but hard to get any speed up and no real flow.

GT black is, by modern standards, a red... Except for the bits at the end, wormhole etc. OTOH, it's pretty lovely. Harder work for the amount of reward, compared to many trails, but still well...

I love BT but I do tend to take it slow - I couldn't ride it fast. Think you'd need to be pretty good to leather the troot.

Don't worry Northwind you're not a **** unlike many others on here You are probably right and I just need to ride it more and get into the zone so to speak.

After all this chat, I decided to take a spin round GT black this afternoon. I've been on the Boundary Trail, Deliverance/Redemption in the last couple of years, but it's probably 5 years since I did...

Just an update after I did the black on Friday for the first time. I had obviously made the distance seem much greater in my mind. Don't get me wrong, I was on the haribo after the Redemption climb and...
