Une grosse partie du sentier est sur
du slickrock*. |
Most the the trail is on slickrock**,
which is not slick at all: it is as abrasive as sand paper. This gives
the tires exceptionnal traction,
allowing the bikes to climb and descend very steep hills without sliding.
It takes a little while to get used to, but what a feeling! |
