Description:
If you follow Trail Forks Guidance, 555 first half was an overgrown vegetation non maintained trail. It literally look like an old hiking trail that no one ever rides. It definitely doesn't look like locals are riding that section. Expect loose and sketchy riding doable for advanced riders, expect walking for all others (Both expect Leg scratches from the brush!). There's a better access and more used trail that connects to 555 mid way down but its not GPS which I'm assuming it was because you have to sneak through a fence (Damaged and opened gap when we got lost and found that way on the first day). That non marked way was well ridden and way more flowy.
Access to the top alternate: At the Montes de Malaga Park access road entrance, take the trail riders left. It will take you below the property behind the Restaurante. (The real access otherwise is using the trail at the end of the parking lot at the South end).
While going down you will eventually ride along a fence (left side). Once you see and opening with a pipe to walk over, that's where it is. The trail was well ridden so follow the path most traveled.
2/3 down you will get to a Y, take the left side to access berms, fun flowy riding. Right was an old access road washed up in poor condition but still fun. Both ways will get you to the same finish area.
