Riders seeking the extra challenging black trail ‘Jailbreak’ should follow the ‘Baunreagh Blue’ route to ‘Waypoint 2’ and turn right once there. The black trail itself is just shy of 2km long and the entire route is a 13km round trip which takes in lots of great trails along the way.

The descent is action packed from the get go, with a large rock step down off the forest road which gives you a good indication of what’s in store. Steep sweeping berms are used to link the rocky stone pitched and sometimes rooty sections. Once at the bottom, catch your breath and consider your next move. You can join the red grade ‘Harrier’ route in either direction; right to ‘Bippity Bop’ or left to ‘Doom’.

TRAIL GRADING
This black grade route is severe throughout. The trails vary rapidly from fast and flowing to tight and technical. Prolonged steep and narrow sections are common, with drop offs and variable surfaces including rock, roots, mud, loose stones and gravel that may become slippery when wet. This trail should not be undertaken unless you are a highly experienced and highly competent mountain bike rider
