Description:
Clockwise loop through plantation pine forest. Old forestry road, shared use with walkers and horse riders. Have to cross ford at start, will likely get wet feet. A layer of decaying pine needles and horse manure on top of hardpack clay and bedrock makes for some mud and very slippery when wet. Constant steep climb/skid to some cool views on top, descent similar, slippery. Will not be your type if you enjoy flowing purpose-built singletrack, might be more enjoyable with a 29er hardtail, or as a quiet 60-90 minute training ride if you live nearby.
