      Def worth the second climb up! More of a middle-of-the-road blue trail, in terms of tech - all intermediates and up should give this one a shot. Super fun combo of old-school enduro race trail and flowier man-made elements.

      This trail is sick. So worth it. Climb up isn’t even bad. Highly recommended.

      Fast loamy tech trail. Lots of off camber, many lines to pick from. Great trail, awesome addition to the Dorset/Manchester area! Best (and only) tech trail nearby.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
