 Confusing arrow mid trail just above the road as you come down that tongue into the clear cut, suggest to close that off again now logging is over

      Haven't ridden for a while, noticed today that someone replaced the sketchy log bridge near the top with something more solid and safe. (JH-B06)

      Just wanted to say thanks!

      New bridges up top are fantastic! Digital high fives all around ????????

      Top half 4.5 stars, bottom half 3. The steeper first half is a blast! Fast and flowy indeed. Sweet berms and some tight tree moves. Second half gets a little too xc for my liking but it flows ok.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
