Description

All day on many of perhaps the most beautiful children's needle trails Oslo has to offer. No new paths for people who are familiar, but already braided so that you don't have to do it.

Red? Blue? A lot of blue difficulty with high speed and the possibility of air, but also sometimes quite demanding cycling with uphill cruxing and narrow steep passages down with only one line choice. A little wear on a couple of small passages as well. So I landed on red all the time the length of the trip also plays a role, but if you are a beginner of the eager variety and in good shape then the wow factor is high on these trails.

The route goes on the tarmac back to the car from Siggerud, but if you have strength left in your legs, just take the same or one of the other great paths over Verpåsen and down to the P plassen.

Great chance to buy yourself a waffle and coffee/wort beer since you cycle past the cafe on the Krokhol golf course twice.

For those allergic to gravel, information must be given about a couple of km of gravel from Krokhol and back down. The path from Tømmeråsen with 150 beautiful hm apparently stinks.....unfortunately.

Access

Place on Vevelstadvn. The gravel up five minutes to the start of the path by a timber depot.

Mye slikt

Jon Aleksander Bolstad rated Sørmarka Epic Escape ok. Hadde høye forventninger til denne turen, men ble skuffet. Kuttet riktignok av ved riksveien før andre sløyfe så har ikke syklet hele turen. Mye grus, kjerrevei og enkel bred sti i runden nærmest start. Mot slutten var det et par fine partier. Oslo-marka har mye bedre sti å by på etter min mening.13.may.2017
