    Woah, I've never noticed that option to the right at 4:04 - I've always pinned it straight ahead between the two rocks!

    • @InspiredRides
      @InspiredRides 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think I’m 50/50 between the rocks or up to the right depending on how I approach it. It’s fun taking all the different lines through that section, especially in the wet!

    • @InspiredRides

      Yeah I'd say its doable on certain sections. Would be down to your confidence with kids on the bike. Also I'd aim to stay away from the road sections, and maybe the bridges could be a little narrow for a trailer. Would be good fun on the train for the kiddies thouhgh!
