Tree down on the trail half-way through. Lower part now has options to cut through few easy turns and do some nice steep loam parts

      very natural trail but no signage. I had to stop regularly to check route. only ride if you are expert. fun trail indeed, no flow.

      Fantastic trail! Bring some beans as it’s technical all the way. Nice flow units and challenging rocky steeps and hairpins alternate. Definitely a fair bit harder then the 8 or granny’s garden. Yet one of the best trails I’ve ridden so far.
