      Totally neutered by machines, no character anymore

      I think it might have been perfect dirt.

      Starts with a climb with a few technical sections. Once you reach the Road Mountain Overlook you're in for a bit of downhill. Some fun rock obstacles and an amount of roots. Super fun, lots of alternate lines. Hard right climbing turn marks the end of the downhill and some more somewhat technical climbing takes you back to the road

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
