Terra Nova is always a narrow fun trail. It starts with numerous ups and down with slippery corners and rocks, and gets into faster downhill with rock -filled ruts and surprising ditches here and there. Always a fun one down.

Can be done up as well though, but that is not done as often. A good option to session the trail is to ride back up via Fairservice Main and Cara to Terra.

Note that in winter the second part of the trail typically has some rather large puddles as well as a potentially long swamp section that you will not be able to cross without getting your feed wet.

      Most the trail is running great there is just one part about half way down with a massive water pool. Might be a good location for a bridge
