      Absolute joy to ride. Throw a few ladder bridges in there... maybe a skinny or two... protect those little drops and I might go as far as to say that this trail could be compared to, say, John Deer and Expresso. That is if that's where you want to go with this one. Still a sweet trail. .

      Wow!

      Well engineered trail with fast riding berms and curves. Smooth, clean and very curvy with fun succession of small turning compressions. It is well named!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
