      Fun trail but a little in the middle of nowhere… Flowy, and overall not so technical. I would not rate it black, most others in the area are much harder to ride. If you search for some solitude in busy Finale, come here and enjoy.

      der Trail es weitgehend frei und flüssig fahrbar. nur unten am Ende des Trails einige tückische Dornenranken.
