rode some gnarly stuff today and ate and entire sainsboss taste the difference, free from, butter scotch chocolate bar. i recommend doing both if you get the chance, but if you can only do one, go for the chocolate bar.
found a nice DIY run which makes use of a red route section to take you back up, but provides something a bit more fun/ less rocky when going down. got to admit the features either side of this photograph took me a few dry runs to work up the courage to go over the step down. the final push was when a full sus guy came past, shouting hi and just sailing through all of it.
one way is a step down into some roots and then a steep up hill, the other is a choice of a gully like berm switch back with a step down in, or are very rooty and fast long corner, i took the rooty long corner.
felt pretty rad tbqh, but made me want a helmet with more head protection to avoid cracking the melon.
I also found out how the one forest path trail works over by hut hill, so you can go up over a technical section, then down the fast side of the hill through this tree tunnel, was a really good way to finish a couple of hours pottering about
highlight of the day was seeing a man on a mtb unicycle taking on the blue trail, seemed more confident than me on his respective bike.
