This is a DH tech with a fast upper section that transitions into a sleep very technical descent before opening up again at the bottom. If you like tech you’ll love this trail.

      This is not a tech trail. It's a featureless tech trail with loam at the end. Very little roots or technical terrain.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
