Marin Old Skool

Good rocky trail where there is single-track which is limited and views amazing on 2nd loop. But thats it on 2nd loop i'm afraid very little singletrack for the amount of climbing so very old skool. Having said that it shows you this on the map so no excuses really and shows you the large amount of fireroad Met a local lady rider after first long climb and she said don't bother with loop 2 but as i had plenty of time i did the whole trail. Can only recommend the 1st loop as other people say on here.

Good points:

Good surface Single-track there is quite good No parking fees Great Views on Loop 2 Sunny dry weather on day of ride Maps at various points on the route which is a nice touch to show you where you are.

Bad points:

Loop 2 not worth all the fireroad climbing Little amount of singletrack loop 2 Advised by locals that only worth doing bottom loop 1

Marin (riden same day as Penmachno)

Rode this the same day as Penmachno & enjoyed it albeit less. Decent first slog up the fireroad into a fast but shortish descent followed by another fireroad climb and descent which is typical of the whole route. The last descents were fantastic and made it all worthwhile - big grins in the carpark at the end. It's well worn in but it makes it more interesting & I liked the difference to penmacho

Good points:

Last descent & good views

Bad points:

Trail is now a bit worn in places

Would you recommend?

Yes
