This is a perfect introduction to the flow that is to be had at 18 Road. If you are new to mountain biking, or want to get your kids to love it, take them on this loop. It starts with a slow grind up a dirt road, to get a feel for the bike. Then takes you down Kessel Run, the easiest of the flow downhill runs. If you are feeling good, and want to take it up a notch, you continue the loop up Prime Cut and down PBR for a little faster flowing turns and berms.
