Though it's called a road, vehicles would struggle to cope with some of the huge granite boulders that pepper this track. A really fun descent that's tougher than it first appears, particularly when wet. Keep loose to absorb some of the shock or you'll be bouncing around like a pinball in an alley.

As well as a great climb, this is a fab descent! Super fast with some great techy features. Only one gate at the bottom so you can get a great run down.
