Trail Reviews
This ride ended up being pretty brutal with some of the terrain too rocky and lots of swamp bogs so there was quite a bit of pushing/hike a bike....it was a bit scary in some places as they are so remote especially when you're on your own and no phone signal and praying you don't have a catastrophic mechanical...but the scenery is something else, photos just don't doit justice
Plan a 10-12 km walk after crossing the river, there is no way. Never ride an e-bike. Riding the trails in the bike park at the end of the tour, unfortunately it was already too dark for me.
