Minto is boring and the trails are always overgrown #changemymind

Thanks for this thoughtful, insightful, and above all, helpful contribution. 
MVP has a variety of trails with some flowy goodness, chunky technical, and jumpy feature-rich trails. I loved it!
Minto has the same hard-pack trail over and over with the only differences between trail ratings seeming to be the elevation. Pretty? No doubt! I found almost no challenge on the highly-rated Serenity Now / Insanity Later combo or other trails we tried. I enjoyed a few of the black diamond trails, but those alone wouldn’t be worth the trip for me.
MVP is the real MVP.

I rode Colebrooke this week and really enjoyed it. The trails are wide with a good mix of up, down, and flat (and flowy) with a few features dropped in here and there. I met some members/riders of the Colebrooke trail assoc. on the trails and they said there are plans for another 10km to be added, and more features.
There’s also the Grand Falls Brewery that just opened in town

Agreed 2 years ago it was a few trails called trail 1 trail 2 etc. Now it’s pretty good. Just watch out for the accidental border crossings on Frontier. (I can’t legally tell you how I know that ;))
Coming soon to that area(New Denmark), likely within 2 to 3 years will be some enduro stuff on my parents hobby farm as they and I develop it more. Right now they have apples, grapes, bees, and beef. But planning on adding a u pick, cider, pumpkins and thanks to me explaining how cool it would be, enduro trails. It’s kinda our vision for their retirement living plus a few e bikes!
470 meters of elevation to use with about 2.5 km of Down to the end of the climb road. They are cutting my marks and We will pitch in and build berms and features!

I guess it’s no surprise that we are all going to feel different about the trails we ride but every once in awhile that fact gets driven home.
For me as I grow older and slowly wind down on what I am able to ride I have come to crave faster smoother more flowing trails that are longer and allow you to stretch out the ride before having to stop
Nothing drives me more crazy then having to constantly stop and try and figure out where to go on poorly marked or un marked trails. Also the surrounding terrain has become more engrossing. I have seen enough trees to last a lifetime at this point. I want to see something different and unique.
I don’t like to leave the ground, if bikes were meant to fly they would have wings 
and I don’t like to ride the knarl of truly techy trails. Again did that enough all ready. Got nothing left to prove and want to wake up the next day smiling not sore.
For me minto is minty and I keep coming back for more
