Description

Rolling XC-style singletrack. A singletrack alternative to get you off Pipeline Rd when coming back from the Hill Rd. track networks.Sweet & Sour is all about momentum as it drops and climbs and winds its way through the bush.It can be ridden slowly but if you can keep the speed up you are A) going to whip your mates and B) make the whole experience one to cherish.It does climb slightly overall, with a short pinch climb towards the end.This is a well drained trail so is a good one to hit if the weather is wet.
