This trail is for those wishing to get away from the fire roads and take on an adventure, it has a hard pack surface so is good to ride year round but in winter the water can hide some deep holes in the trail, the trail is narrow in places with some very steep climbs and decents, some of which are off camber but there are no obstacles along the way.
Some of the climbs may require assistance as grip is an issue on this surface.
The surface can be slippery when the surface is wet.
The trail winds its way through the forest and the surface can be very bumpy so carrying speed can be a problem, there are also areas when the trail splits with both trails going to the same place but pick the line that is best for you as there are sections of off camber trail that can tip you over.
We would recommend having a support rider with you on this trail.
