      Rode today. An excellent track downhill, but a bit more challenging uphill. In good order

      Second part of the track, nearest the cafe, no longer exists. Have to go along the road.

      I wouldn't really call this an easy trail--this was obviously a walking trail that got modified to accommodate bikes. There are definitely some challenging turns, and walkers present a significant uncertainty.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
