Not part of any marked routes, but links up with the Scouts Trail. We can send the GPX file via email.

Training Tip for the newbies taking on this monster, ride lots of Single track & lots of descents, your arms & hands will thank you.

Two more tips:

 

1)  Get over your fear of heights - you are gonna be up in the clouds all day long !!

 

2)  Service your suspension - riding that route with fork that in the first hour turns into a rigid, is not gonna do you any favors :-)

If I am still alive after my debut Attakwas 2020 adventure, I will definitely want to try this one out!

Hahaha at No.2 that could not have been fun for you.

Also if you are running XT brakes make sure they are 100% on hot day they tend to bind to the calipers.
