Sunday, Bike day ofcourse!

When i arrived today at the parking lot, there were already some fellow bikers unpacking and gearing up for the ride. The group of riders was pretty large today, about 15! There were some bikers from the other side of the country!


After everyone was ready, we hit the first trail. Since the parking lot is fairly uphill, it was directly a relativly short downhill single trail. After this, we had to climb quit a long time on rooty singletrack and fire roads. The we arrived at the Railroad trail. This single track is very root infested with enough small drop off's to keep you focus.There were some new things build, a small double jump and a 4ft drop of to a skecthy flat landing. I didn't feel like trying today so i will keep that one for next time. Unfortunatly there was lots of mud on the trail, what made it hard to gain some speed.


After this trail we had to go uphill on mainly Fire road to get to the so called Toblerone Freeride Trail. Because of the expected mud we've skipped the upper part of the trail and start half way at the roadgap.

We did the trail several times top to bottom. It has several small stunts like a bombhole were you can jump out of, some sketchy steeps with roots point out, and some small kicker style jumps over fallen trees. The soil was muddy at some place what made it hard to hold speed. Also the root were slippery what made pretty skecthy some times. Maybe i should buy some larger tires!

When the sky got darker and darker we decided to head back to the parking lot, since we had to climb up the hill to get there, the rain just began to fall when we arrived.

After packing the gear, we sat down and talked about the day. Everyone agreed it was a great day of riding.




Thanks for the ride!
