      Great overall Hammerfest vibe. Some service road, but mostly trails.

      A fun and long ride down. Half of the climb is done in nice trails. Upper half is a service road climb.
      6 miles • 1,115 ft • 18 • Loop •
      An easy way up Hammerfest. Cross-country style on the way up and flowy on the way down. Avoiding service...
