Short flat and then climb section. Starts as a shared trail with the blue route. This version ignores the short black section and sweeps through switchbacks. Great fun end to the red route.

Marked on the Red, Blue and Black routes. Used as part of Alpine Bikes demo loop.

      Always a great finish to the trails. Starts fast, then after the split with the blue trail there are three short sharp climbs that can catch you out if you don't get your gear changes in in time. Then lots of twists turns, roots and finally some great swoopy trail to finish off. The finish has been tweaked since the UCI Championships with a couple of table tops now to end on

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
