 Some corners very sandy so can be hard to see if any holes are in them.

      Middle part is very washed out, in some parts the rut is so deep it's barely rideable. Lower part is a bit better, with technical switchbacks and some rooty sections. At the moment I would stay away from this trail, there are much better alternatives.

      Bella e molto molto divertente tanto quanto stimolante e performante. La parte finale con i tornanti era ben al di sopra delle mie capacità di guida, ma comunque mi ha fatto divertire.
      Bella scelta, va sicuramente manutenzionata con molta assiduità durante la stagione in quanto molto soggetta ad usura per via della pendenza e della tipologia di terreno

      Excellent trail. Has a couple of tight switchbacks but they are fully rideable (without nose pivots).

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
