STENGT AV GRUNNEIER, VENNLIGST IKKE SYKLE DENNE STIEN
En sti inspirert av de bratte og krappe svingene i Tweed Valley i Skottland. Mange av stiene i Nesbyen er raske og direkte, men denne skiller seg ut med tekniske, bratte svinger, avbrutt av høyhastighetsseksjoner. "Beaster" = British Easter trail, en referanse til stibygger Will Gibson og nabostien "Påskestien".
Stien starter med en kort travers før du slippes rett inn i det bratteste partiet – en håndbygd, sandfarget slange som snor seg ned fjellsiden. Etter dette treffer du en gammel traktorvei hvor farten øker og høyden forsvinner raskt. Resten av stien følger denne traseen med håndbygde svinger og hopp. Følg med på endringer Målet er å bygge stadig flere svinger, så det kan dukke opp nye der du minst venter det!
For å sykle denne stien, har du tre alternativer for tilkomst:
Sykle opp (eller shuttle deler av) grusveien som starter nord for sentrum / Alfarvegen.
Sykle opp grusveien fra Rukkedalen til starten av "Påskeekstra" og følg den til "Beaster".
Sykle fra toppen av Espeset, via stien "Påskeekstra".

CLOSED BY LANDOWNER, PLEASE DO NOT USE
A trail inspired by the steep and tight turns of Tweed Valley in Scotland. Unlike Nesbyen’s fast and direct trails, this one features technical, steep corners mixed with high-speed sections.
"Beaster" = British Easter trail, a nod to trail builder Will Gibson and the neighboring "Påskestien".
The trail starts with a short traverse before dropping straight into the steepest section – a hand-built, sandy brown snake twisting down the mountainside. After this, you hit an old logging trail, gaining speed and dropping elevation fast. The rest of the trail follows this path with hand-built turns and jumps.
To ride this trail, there are three access options:
Cycle up (or shuttle part of) the gravel road that begins north of town / Alfarvegen.
Cycle up the gravel road from Rukkedalen to the start of "Påskeekstra" and follow it to "Beaster".
Cycle from the top of Espeset, via the trail "Påskeekstra".
Watch for changes! The goal is to add more corners over time, so expect new surprises!
