      Too many line choices and options makes for a confusing trail. Why so many off shoots??

      Not sure what the nonsense about ‘better suited to e-bikes’ is about, unless you’re either rubbish or unfit. It’s a great trail, and proper mountain biking. Seems unnecessary to use a mobility scooter on it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
