Dry, but wheels on the ground are bedding in tracks super well at the moment. Even most off the off-camber corners are getting a bit of support...

      Good trail, rocky, not as many berms as u might expect from the name, but there is a tasty & steep berm run.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
