      Did this trail for the first time yesterday. I have ridden out west and this trail trumps anything I have been on. There are 1 or 2 roll/drops that did not feel great on a 130mm bike. Hats off to the trail builders will definitely be back!

      First time on this trail. Superb! Couple of (for me) intimidating spots but it all rolls well with a few short pops to finish some of the rolls. So much fun!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
