perhaps they could build a red start from that crossing point too, it could even link back into the blue further down, would start to allow more options.
There’s already a fireroad there that would link the blue to the top of the World Champs XC Red. A short new section of single track would make it more interesting.
Your three options could then be.
Blue Level – Blue Steel top to bottom
Red Level – Top Chief Upper, Red link to World Champs, World Champs to finish.
Black Level – Top Chief top to bottom
