      Gorgeous trail: the pics don’t do it justice. Built on some pretty wild grades, this trail traverses a lot before following the fall line lower down. The push up is often a carry as Gloria can get so steep and rough that you can’t push a bike on it. The grades on Gloria are perilous if you fall with your bike

      Dope trail, just don’t hit when wet. If you do go when it’s wet do not hit the wooden features. They have no mesh grading on them. I learned the hard way as my tire slipped out on one of them and I flew off it.

      Really fun trail. Sustained steep loamer. Nothing crazy that will catch you unawares. The hike-a-bike is serious! Around 1 hour (with a few breaks) and >300m climbing.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
