Ride Description:
The Red Trail is a feature-full riding with plenty of climbing and technical riding. Much of the loops have been reinforced and laid with gravel to make them all-weather trails, and all feature brilliant, flowing single track, jumps, rock sections, and enough to keep even the most technical rider on their toes. There is also other graded trails such as the blue graded, which are a lot less technical but still very rewarding, so there is something here for everybody.
