Gordy’s begins right before the dip to the lower half of Sandman and will take you to Canterbury.

It’s a medium length trail, taking about 4 to 5 minutes to complete. The recently implemented Kalamari Bypass (1:34 of the video) has made my life a bit easier although I do take the original route when I’m carrying more speed.

The key to Gordy’s is momentum! This is especially true for the tricky root section (1:27) and the two small rock faces later on (the first being much easier than the second). I find the two small hill climbs are easier in 2nd gear rather than 1st on my 300XC w/factory gearing.
