Difficulty

The difficulty can get a little spicy, especially where the trail features some steep, punchy sections that require steady throttle control. While manageable in dry conditions, the road surface is highly susceptible to heavy erosion, often leaving behind large ruts and washed-out sections after a storm. Always pick your lines carefully on the descent to avoid getting hung up on the uneven terrain.
