        This is the main loop for the Kegel-Alpha system. It is recommended to use the cut-off trail on the north end after recent precipitation, as the northern most section by the river takes a long time to dry out.

        The return trail for sessioning the downhill section of the 2.0 trail.
        85 4.0 2,618 ft 3 ft 90
        The old section of the Kegel-Alpha trail before the 2.0 rework. This section runs near the marsh and river so remains wet much of the year. Only ride when dry please.
