**This is a sample Rough Ride Guide- more mountain biking routes can be downloaded on your iPhone, through your OutDoors App.** distance(km): 33.8 climbing(m): 545 difficulty: easy / hard This ride offers a wide choice of distances, and isn’t too technical so should be suitable for all abilities, and only really gets a hard rating for the extension, which adds some distance, with no real option of bailing out if you get tired.
