Stunning views of river valley. Some classic Edmonton steep pitches both up and down, but also a good amount of flow. Rides well in both directions.

South end has a slump of about 5m of the trail that moved downhill. Didn’t make it past that.

 Both bridges on this trail are in perfect working order, the last report must be about CSG Course 1 that does have a sketchy bridge

 Scary bridge with missing planks, if one more breaks it will eat up front wheels on descent. Heading northbound, Super sketchy

 A few spots on this trail have patches of black dirt that are really loose and tough to climb.
