      Rode today top half of Trail is running great lower half has been badly affected by Logging work over the winter could do with Some clearing work on the Trail between where Cat Scratch Left and Cat Scratch Fever Meet and the Fire road crossing. The end of the Trail is all clear and riding well.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
