Looks interesting Yasir! Am up for it as long as we agree on newbie/beginner level where no one is forced to continue and just do plenty of breaks in between. Am working on my personal level right now on road and when I completed my 50km in one go, hopefully next month, I don't mind doing a camping/ riding trip. I hope Marshalls/Founders do not mind if I then post a trip on this thread?? Please advise!
It also looks like Fili is not only a cycling opportunity but also easy to go to by car...so we take Roberto's offer to join as Marshal who in worst case can put us on his ramp and take back to start point and of course uphill:011:

Looks nice Yasir. I don't mind trying as long as we agree on newbie/beginners level and if any of us is exhausted we just stop and take it very easy. Working on my personal goal right now to manage 50km on road in one go without break and hopefully will have completed it by next month. If the Marshals/Founders don't mind, I could maybe post a trip on this thread. Please advise Marshals! If not....secret trip:015:. The trail looks like cars can go too, we camp and take Roberto's offer who can follow us, provides water, shelter and takes us up hill:011: And in worst case, we trek/walk! Necessary gear...not to forget as all is about safety! MTB, Helmet, spare tubes, pump, garmin, plenty of water etc.....

Will try to go there next month and will take pics of good locations for camping. It will be great if Roberto follow us, I will also try to bring my family to follow as well. If any of us gets exhausted will put MTB on RAM and could sit in my car. Most important is to check weather forecast just before the trip as it will be very dangerous in heavy rain.
