After a 4 year construction to ensure all details were met we’re proud to showcase Beowulf, our minted XC epic, named after the poem about a legendary dragon-slaying Scandinavian warrior. Borrowing its name from the poem is a true fit for the trail, capturing the undertaking of building it from beginning to end. The 35km loop takes riders along ridgelines, through cedar rainforests and grassy meadows as it winds its way from the village and back again, covering all of the incredible terrains SilverStar has to offer. A must-do ride for the discerning mountain biker.

Ride 7.15.26. Such a good route and currently in great shape. This is a good time of year to do it because the trail is still tacky and the flowers are out. It's worth noting that the black rating of most of the trail is 100% because of its remoteness from cell coverage and help if you get into trouble. The whole trail is never more technically challenging than blue. Although the climb out is no joke! It's 1 to 2 hours based on your ability. Anyway, this is a can't-miss experience for cross country riders visiting from away.

This is one of the most majestic cross country rides I’ve done, 5 stars- I had an early start and was glad I did. The downhill went in forever and the climb back up is incredibly well built. Kudos to the builders.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
