TTFs on TrailDrop, Rock Face
Awesome, long trail that starts with a ~1km technical singletrack climb, before descending for around 2km.
Big maintenance push/re-build winter 23/24 with the trail being armoured and slightly re routed to add a bit more flow. Still a traditional and technical descent with a few stand out slabs. The very end is starting to be lost to the forest (a good thing) therefore exiting the trail is recommended via 'added death', 'Value Addedwww.trailforks.com/trails/value-added-alt-exit/]Value Added Alt exit[/L]' or 'Penthouse'.
Good intro to double black as most features have a ride around.
