Technical single track that winds its way along the edge of the bench, some fun windy sections and great views. This trails shares several sections with Trail 2b which sees heavy commercial horse traffic. Best to travel this trail outside of peak hours.

        Rode this trail and it wasn’t even worth the effort, so badly chewed up by horse traffic now you can hardly enjoy a ride.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
