    Drop

Es un desvío del 8/Vivales una vez cruzada la pista forestal. Tiene tres drops de casi un metro de altura que no se pueden rodar ni evitar, aunque si caminar. Después tiene secciones con mucha pendiente. Con barro es complicado. Para expertos. Los iniciados tendrán que desmontarse por lo menos tres veces.

 Varios arboles caídos en la parte media baja, hemos retirado un par pero el resto no se pueden quitar, hay que bajarse de la bici para atravesarlos.

 En algunos tramos es casi imposible frenar, el terreno parece una alfombra de canicas.

        efectivamente los iniciados nos tenemos que bajar mínimo 3 o 4 veces. en el drop, en el salto de la roca y en un par de zonas que son paredes básicamente. el resto bien y divertido. bastante limpia en julio 2026
