        Rode on 17 Jan 2023 and any fallen trees have been cleared from the path. Good condition.
        Tully01
        Ridden today and Normally a great track but due to tree thinning and heavy machinery in area parts of the track have bedn damaged and obstructed by trees and debris
        Tully01
        A great track highly recommended. Do the Tourist Trap then onto Scraggs and then to SH Fun. If you miss the exit you get to do it twice.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
