Mount Macpherson's premier flow trail makes a smooth climber, as well as a fast flowing descent trail. Remember: uphill riders have the right-of-way. This should be on your must-do list at Mount Macpherson.
Follow the signs for the blue 'ride-arounds' to avoid riding the black diamond technical trail features (TTFs).

Enjoyed this trail, it’s fun and flowing.
mollyraymond
Lot of comments saying this trail has no flow or downhill. Totally disagree. It’s an easy blue where you may need some pedalling out of the saddle but you can cook down it and it lasts forever given the easy climb.

Idk what the last guy is talking about, cus he must have been riding an e bike. I pedaled down this trail more than I pedaled up.
Halfway in my 4 month pregnant wife says "this is a blue?"
