Rold Skov – Blåt spor

The Store Rute is a sport full of contrasts. It starts comfortably with blue trails, then suddenly there is a lot of forest highway and the mood sinks. Then it finally turns blue again and when it turns red too, the trail grin is perfect again. The red is pretty dark red, however, and in difficult rooted areas, edges 1 - 1.5 m high that are no longer rollable appear out of nowhere. Elsewhere it would be signposted in black. There were black sections too, but red was enough for me. After the red trails were over, the tour was halfway around and we went back on boring straight trails and forest highways, there was still a bit of fun, but it dragged on. Next time I would try to start close to the red trails to rationalize away the boring sections.

This route consists mostly of paths and is therefore a lot of fun. It also leads through two natural bike parks in the forest, with the first having two levels of difficulty and the second having at least three. I rode the blue route in both cases and got my money's worth. Speaking of costs, there are no costs or other access restrictions on either route. However, on the first route, some sections were apparently closed due to forestry work. In any case, it was a lot of MTB fun.
