      Sorry, that last review was meant for the 2nd leg of serenity, not this one.

      Rode on hardtail. Last part to climbing trail blown out and in much need of repair to make it rideable. Rating very inconsistent with other areas such as Doumont, Hammerfest, Benson, Cumberland. Rating should be black the way it’s riding now.

      Actually a pretty fun trail with some fun moves on it. I didn't have high hopes for the area when it was explained to me as where "flow goes to die" however I was pleasantly surprised with Serenity and some of the other Linley Valley trails.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
