I went up CC using my cheap HT. I've been coming on and off for 15 odd years.l up there.
What amazes me is how smooth the tracks are. Before ebikes the ground was proper rutted you couldn't go super quick but very technical stuff. Now it is very compacted and so much easier, you can gain speed but on the other hand the fun factor seems to have gone. It is a lot easier than it used to be that's for sure.

I think the original Dog and Monkey trails were pretty much hand-built but as they’ve been repaired/upgraded over time they’ve done a bit more with machines so they are smoother - The really smooth one is Perrys trail that was built for the Commonwealth Games I think, you could probably get round this on a pair of rollerblades…
There’s plenty of rooty/loose/pebbley/rutted/steep/narrow/boggy stuff if you just head off on one of the hundreds of off-piste trails - Many are a bit overgrown (I never come home without bramble scars) and there’s a load of dross but every so often a real gem. The problem is finding them again next time
