Bike required: a good quality off-road mountain bike is needed.
Skills needed: advanced level off-roading skills and technical ability.
Trail and surface types: as for ‘red’, but with an expectation of greater challenge and continuous difficulty. Can include any useable trail and might include exposed open hill sections.
