Who is it for?

Best suited to Upper-Intermediate to Advanced riders who:

● Are comfortable riding sustained steep gradients

● Can handle tight, technical descents, with roots, rock gardens, or soft ground.

● Can manage repeated steep climbs (up to ~350 ft in one go).

● Have experience on red–black level trails or enduro-style riding.

This route links together a series of short but steep descents. Expect a mix of fast, technical downs with significant gradient and forest-road climbs. The ride is fairly compact in distance but feels like a short, high-energy enduro loop, combining steep chutes, rooty or rocky sections (typical of Ae), and sustained climbing to reset for the next descent.
