    All around here are quarries and relics of the area's mining history. When you come down this path, choose the middle one, which is a sunken road over slate rocks.

    The noise of riding the bike over this ground is quite distinctive and the ride is generally a lot of fun.

      The local MTB riders call it the Piano Keys.

        Fun, short, technical climb.
