Fun technical trail with ups and downs. Not recommended for novice riders.

Wasps nest on last techy climb part in space balls. Careful where you stop. Got a few bites.

Feels like an old school trail from when bars where narrower & speeds were slower. Fun trail, but I wish it wasn't the only option coming out of the climbing route.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
