      Great trail. Subtle differences in this black trail from the blue trail next to it. Should be rideable by all but the least skilled people and even if you walk a couple of sections you still have fun on the rest. The techy section are short, so dont fear a dismount. Ride either direction, but best from east to west so you have more downhill than uphill.

      Nice trail going counter clock wise. Tons of rock gardens early in the ride. It can be technical in some areas for those not used to technical features

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
