Running great. Still a bit damp in places making the dirt really good. Wood, rocks and roots are prime and good to go.

      Best trail on Fromme, and nice and loamy in parts due to the lack of people riding it.

      Riding Bookwus wet is the NorthShore in its purest form.

      What a trail, kicked my ass but man I was laughing, hooting and hollering all the way down. Fantastic trail, very technical. Something to strive for.
