    Awesome riding. The tracks are well maintained and loads of fun. There is some nice technical sections but nothing an intermediate rider can't handle.

    I love this trail - It has great climbing and better downhills. The swichbacks are technical and great fun. The is only one drop I rate difficult that only experienced riders should tackle - but this area is well marked.

    Beautiful single track in pristine condition. Everything from gentle flowing tracks to awesome hair raising downhill sections.

    This route is spectacular! A bit of everything thrown in! Exhilarating climbs. Fast and furious decent. Switch backs. Roots. Rocks. Table tops. Burms. All round fun!
