      kind of trail you only need to ride once. lots of loose rocks, which isn't usually a problem. not much flow.

      feels like they added it as a bike trail to add the number of km they can advertise.

      I would not bother to ride it again.

      Single avec pas mal de pierre, assez sympas mais glissant avec des cailloux, pourrait être côté rouge par endroit
