Bit dry and dusty, a bit of rain would help. Still fun out on the E bikes

I really enjoy this track, good XC/tech route. The 2nd outer loop is somewhat rough- but rideable.

I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the trail: I haven't ridden here for years and I thought it was abandoned. While the trail is loose...

Dry, clear trails. Unfortunately the Motos ride the MTB trails and loosen them up more.

      With the recent high rainfall in August coupled with moto use, the trail are more rugged and exposed than they have ever been. Its a tough pedal but a good workout.
      E mountainbike riders will enjoy it the most at the moment.

      These are fun XC style trails with some nice tech sections. Motos do share the start of the trail, so don’t get discouraged by this. Follow trailforks for the rest and it some decent single track. As long as the motos stay off the MTB single track!

      Some sections have not been riden for a while, very overgrown. A lot of the trail has been eroded away from the motorbikes that frequent here.

      But still plenty of fun, technical sections, very XC trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
