        Bridge is closed and fenced. You can drop down Prudent instead (black)

        Trailforks says this is downhill primarily but it doesn’t feel that way. This is more XC with lots of tech climbing sections. I made the mistake of riding this towards home after a few hours of riding already.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
