There are enough technical obstacles on this ride to keep you focused and in the zone for a great workout. Of all the single track in the area, this trail is as relentless as they come for eleven-plus miles. There’s no guessing which way to go as the trail is well marked with signs throughout. The first 2-3 miles harbor some technical challenges. From there, you’ll move into 2-3 miles of some decent climbs, followed by some more technical rock gardens and turn sections, finishing up with some smooth swoops and climbs.
