Upper Java Time is 90% clear. There is snow at the start of the main climb which requires pushing through. After that the trail is clear.

      Yes, you have to be OK with some pedaling and yes it would be ideal on an ebike, but I loved it. Def an easy double, but great mix of some rock, wood, and sweet ST. If you like Business Time, I think you’ll really like Java Time. I sure did!

      Damp day but good grip... definitely a big up and down trail, a few closer to double black shoots but good run outs. No features are wild, mostly black as it's tiring anothers mentioned with the tech climbing and some black maybe double black ish downs. Cool punchy XC style with a few spice downs. Would say it's more of a black trail if you can ride business time, you'll be ok, a bit more climbing.

      Absolute banger of a trail. True double black technically with some fun, spicy rock rolls. Some steep climbs but nothing crazy.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
