is it a easy ride ??how much does it cost ??would probably look at the intermediate ..B class anyoe else riden this ride

its just a trail ride i think they got confused with classes and tracks... iv never done it, its on a horse trecking station. i dont think it will be very extreme. its on a sat, so its def worth a look, nothing else on. as for cost... i dunno. prob 20-30 like most trail rides

Did this one last time. The Birchmeister marked the course and also rode during the day. Heavy rain came through the night before, and was greasy as hell in the morning. Many unable to get all the way up the first beat up the main hill early in the day so they altered it a bit for an easier angle of attack. 'A' options were pretty challenging, especially in some parts. Some steep windy climbs/downhills, but still plenty of places to open the tap. Loop was quite short but a still a good one. Location is nice, and good views at top of main hill. Extra care req. on the wooden drain/creek crossings, Super slippery if wet.
