Go down with caution because it is chalk and crevasse. Very nice climb to do but take it well ;)

As the title indicates, descent on the way to the entrance of Boves. It is a fairly steep descent and what makes it special and where you have to be careful on the descent, are the crevasses that are there. It is quite slippery because it is a dirt road, with stones but also chalk. And chalk on a bike is slippery. ;) So be careful.

Singles and paths in the woods. Good climbs or descents. A little less busy than the Magneux woods next door.
