      Early aug 2025, the upper part was rebuilt into a straight, wide, elevated race course. They buried the joy.

      Tree across trail 35 m past telephone loop going up on reconnect. Might be a surprise if your coming down at speed.

      The western most section has some washout and a large rut down the centre making it fairly stoney. It’s still rideable but makes for unpleasant climbing when going west to east.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
