Sweet new trail!


Holy shit! We've got a new trail and it's my favourite in the valley jusy now! 12 years riding and somehow this little gem had escaped our exploring. Dubbed Maximator, after a high class local lager preferred by the more discerning local tramps (and some of this weeks guests), this trail truly was hiding in plain sight. The steepest looking of three lines from a nearby peak, we'd ignored it because the other two 'mellower' lines were 20% and 70% rideable respectively. How were we to know that the steepest line was actually a 100% (on a very, very good day) goer that flows so nicely it's just nudged into 'best ride of the season' territory. The downside? Alright, there is the small question of a 500+m hike-a-bike to get up there. Still, you're pretty unlikely to meet anyone on it as a result! I think this grin is going to last a few days...
