Trail C

by  •  • 1 Comment

Trail C (Coctelera (Cocktail Shaker)) is a long, extremely rutted and rock-strewn downhill. Tasty! Use Trail HFR (High Flyer Ridge) and then Trail BK (Burro Kong (Donkey Kong)) to get to the top of Trail C. It doesn’t conspicously connect to the junction of Trail BK + PAP so it can be difficult to find the top of this technical downhill. You may have to scout around to the west below the map-drawn junction of BK + C + PAP, but trust us, it’s there and it’s worth it if you like technical downhills.

From the bottom of Trail C (in the town of Viguera) return to the area near the west end of Trail HFR using Road LNR or Trail VV (Easy versus More Difficult, respectively).

Trail BK

by  •  • 1 Comment

Trail BK (Burro Kong (Donkey Kong)) is a contour-following, rock and root sprinkled singletrack kick in the pants, getting you from Trail HFR (High Flyer Ridge) over to the top of Trail C (Coctelera (Cocktail Shaker)), as well as Trails PAP and DDT (both mostly consider not ridable on bikes). By itself it’s not worth the work it takes to get to it via Trail HFR, but as a warm up for Trail C, it’s some yummy salt on the rim of your forthcoming cocktail.

A neutron walks into a bar. “I’d like a beer” he says. The bartender promptly serves up a beer. “How much will that be?” asks the neutron. “For you?” replies the bartender, “no charge.”
