Itinerary description

This is a very difficult trail. It was used by the Phoenician Goats motorcycle club for their Enduro cup 2020 round 1.
The trail consists of two loops. I went around the trail twice.
The first time I tried to follow it as closely as possible (except for a few places). The descent of the first loop was ok but during the uphill part I had to carry the bike on the steep part. The second loop was more difficult and I had to carry the bike both during the downhill part (for short distances) and most of the uphill part.
The second time I managed to bypass the steep part of the first loop by using a different road and it made that loop more enjoyable (only in a few places I had to carry the bike). On the other hand I was only able to find an easier path for the upper part of the uphill of the second loop. So I still had to push my bicycle a good 500-600 meters up a steep hill.
On the other hand hiking this trail would difficult but much more manageable.
The sceneries are beautiful. Both the panoramic ones and through the pine trees.
