    I went out for a few hours today to patrol some of the more overgrown singles in my forest. After the work Tdriver and I did yesterday I wanted to make sure some other areas that I had cleaned up recently were still clear.

    Out on one of the boundaires of mine I normally turn right onto a main fireroad but I had some time so I thought I would have a look what was up the other way. After about 1km there was an overgorwn intersection that I decided to have a look down. It did not show much promise at the top but it did look like it headed in the general direction of where I wanted to go so I headed down it.

    I had never ridden this trail before but I started to feel like I knew what was coming and began twisting the throttle a little harder. As the trees began to blur my heart began to race

    It was very well made and flowed beautifully through some stunning native terrain

    By now I knew I was on a winner and it kept coming at me. Perfect, loamy, singletrack!

    Just when I was starting to think I may have to turn around the last sections of the trail unfolded and delivered me back onto a major fireroad

    I did not recognise it but I headed East and it took me back to an intersection that I knew. Perfect. I have named this one Outer Limits and I will include it in the upcoming ride

    Very Nice Scottie B) By the looks of it Id say it has been well used by some other trail riders maybe not wanting to let it be discovered :laugh: Looks Good B)

    Ive come across a few secret trails like that in the Watagans amazing what you can uncover if you take the time to look now and then.(Maps and a GPS come in Handy as well :laugh: )

    Yes unfortunately riding with some of my boys from Newy out west. But i will continue to wait with baited breath for the very first opportunity to ride it… I’m good for clearing duty as well if you ever need a hand.
