“Adding the steeper climb of the blue route to the green, might seem like unnecessary punishment but payback is more than ample. More adventurous riders will love winding through the tight forest trails and zipping back down to the green again on a thrilling switchback descent.”
A loop off the Green Derwen trail, the 4.7 km Derwen Blue trail climbs a steeper bank before taking in a longer, faster descent that will have you pumping and whooping all the way to the valley bottom. The blue route is also a stepping-stone to the steeper and more technical red Gorlech route.
