Trail Reviews
Dunkeld is a special place for me, as it's where my love for mountain biking started. I've got so many memories of riding here, and it's where I did my first SDA race on a hardtail, and looking back that was pretty wild! Over the last few years with the increase in popularity of riding natural, hand-cut trails growing, it's grown to be a popular riding destination. The quaint village is surrounded by four hills, which each have their own style of MTB trails. Eastpoint is my favourite trail in Dunkeld. It's got a real mix of everything. Commit or Cry is an old-school downhill track: rooty, technical, you have to work the bike and when you get it right it feels so good. The hill with the mast is home to a trail named The Rudder, so called because you're gonna be steering with the rear. It's loose, steep and there's loads of really fun turns. Rake to Ruin is a classic Dunkeld Enduro trail. There's a pretty arduous climb up to the top, but once you get up there, you're rewarded with amazing views across Perthshire. Dropping in, it's steep, loose, and rocky. You pass an old ruin and finish up at the quarry.
