Raven black
The Black graded Raven trail, designed by Rowan Sorrell
and Brian Rumble, raises Brechfa’s take on mountain
biking to the next level. Suitable only for proficient bikers,
the trail effortlessly mixes up the more traditional narrow
woodland singletracks with Brechfa’s signature brash
descents: fast, undulating trail that sweeps between
trees and flows sinuously into berms and over jumps.
This trail takes you out into the more interesting corners
of the forest and creates a ride that involves the forest’s
unique environment, from spooky mossy overhangs to
the magnificent Douglas fir Northshore Bridge.
By the end of the trail, you will have had your full artillery
of trail skills tested and more than likely will be seeking
your way back to the start...
