A nice, flowy downhill blast. Bermed corners make for a quick descend. A fair distance from other trails, but makes a nice circuit with trails lower down the mountain.

Rode upper tube yesterday..dry obviously but let those fingers rest from your levers and let the bike loose...fast and flowy with some bumps and humps, some Knolls to fly off with speed....fun enduro track.

Fun fun fun reported from this easterner!

This is one kilometre of smile. What a delight! Started in the snow and literally 'flowed' through sunlight patches of forest and naturally banked corners with too many bunnyhop objects to mention. Unfortunately, Lower Tube is the ugly sister of Upper and although twice as long not much more than a rubble chute. Still, more than worth the climb from sea level.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
