What to expect
A straightforward downhill run on unpaved track with minimal technical features. The gradient is manageable and the short length means you'll finish quickly. Expect a mix of loose gravel or dirt underfoot typical of forest trails in the South-West. Shade and exposure depend on surrounding woodland; the bridle trail nature of the surface suits hardtail or full-suspension bikes.
Good to know
