Gem Slabs and Middle Gate: A Trail Review of the Best 50-Year MTB Trails

If you're going mountain biking in the 50 Year trail network, you've probably got plans to ride Cowboy Slickrock and Upper Fifty Year. But you might be making the mistake of skipping GEM. Don't miss out on a trail that has some features that might be steeper and sketchier than The Lion's Back Slab and the 50 Year Slabs.
Gem and Middle Gate are must do rides if you're visiting the area!

Funny that your post-recording narration’s voice sounds like Seth from Berm Peak. Maybe the intonation lol

[@DustyTrailsMTB]

Really? No definitely not intentional. Lol. I don't even know if this is how I sound in real life! 🤷‍♂️
