      Track is in decent condition. Dusty but no other issues.

      Piste laissée à l’abandon . Ne devrait pas être ouverte. Méfiez vous l’eau a raviné derrière certains virages complètement à l’aveugle

      Raide et technique, mais tant que vous n'avez pas froid aux yeux ça passe.
      Steep and technical, but if you're not scared of heights you'll be good.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
