Hidden graded trails (resolved)

Ross Gardner

There are some trails near me that don't show up on the trail forks app, or websites like mbwales.com and my route finder.

For example, there's a black and a blue trail near me that doesn't show up.

Do you know of any trails like this or where to find them somewhere else online?

How do you know they are blue and black if they are not listed anywhere?
If they are hidden trails chances are they are unofficial and will not therefore be officially graded.

Well they are within reasonable riding distance, and you can't miss them once you are near them... they have a map there of the trails and they are signposted as a blue and a black trails... so they are official.

I found about them originally from a friend, when I asked him about any local trails, and he provided the information.

Are they near an official trail centre? If so, it may be worth looking on the trail centre website to see if they are listed.

Alternatively a local riding group may have created the trails and given them what they consider to be the correct grading. Maybe a search of local riding groups/clubs websites or FB pages could provide some info?

After looking further for them, I just found them on moredirt.com.

So that resolves the question, really.
