lonesome pine red grade trail has been designed as a cross country trail for riders who love a blast and also for riders just starting out on red grade trails!
This trail is open flowing so you won’t find many rock drop offs or technical features. this trail allows progression from blue grade trails to the technical deadwater red grade trail on the other side of the valley.
if you like views- you’re in for a treat. once you get to the lonesome pine section you can see for miles. on the trail you will be riding on one of the longest sections of northshore in the Uk- why is it 2 metres wide though? if you hit this section in a windy day all will become clear....
