      Great trail, really enjoyed this one. You can run it fairly quick and the climb out isn't too punishing.

      Very cool trail either direction. Quite tight and twisty. Not bad on terms of roots or terrain. Need some fitness for the climb back out.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
