A short, steep, rutted, climb sets the tone for this XC single track connection from McAloon to the Holy Trail. There are several more short but challenging climbs, some with downhill preludes that let you coast most of the way up if you get the flow right. There is plenty of challenge in this trail to mark your fitness / skill progression over the season.
