If you like to go down, you should go down this one. Big berms and plenty of vertical drop make this challenging trail a hoot

      Fantastic descent after climbing around on the main trail. More a dark blue on an xc bike but with a few drops and jumps you need to set up for.

      I remember when my missus was this fun a ride 😆

      Not as bad as I expected. If it wasn't so steep this could be considered a blue descent. Worth a try if your reasonable skilled XC'r. Seat down and lean back
