Trail is in good condition. The lower part is a lot easier to ride, than in July 25. The large holes from the water damage are mostly filled up...

      Rode it 2 times in last years and everytime i enjoy it, especially mid part with flow on east side which is sometimes peppered up with technical uphill rock in trial style, i need to do it sometimes on Trials MX in oppo way Big Grin

      Also i crashed on final part with long easy rock bluffs, i rode creative line/wallride, front wheel slipped almost 2m on rock on rockface and destroy my helmed on the rock completely, next day go to CT Scan, no issues in my spine, after 20years of fast riding in small AND big helmet, never happened, just this saturday, BAM! .... dont get too much exited as me and crash!

      What an epic trail, fantastic mix of forest terrain, rocks, tech, cobblestones, and switchbacks. You can't ask for more. Absolute highlight in the region.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
