(The optional entrance trail to the start of HammerFest. Rough and rooty, twisty and bumpy. A good way to warm up for the remainder of your ride. No Bones about it.)

      Still a great little trail, it has a bit of sentimental value to me because it was the first hammerfest trail my bike flew through. Great soil conditions right now, at least on this one. No repairs needed.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
