High Point

This route puts you through the best descents in Blackstrap, including all the common descents off the main summit. You can modify this route by lapping Bustamove a few times at the beginning, or by doing fewer routes off the main summit -- many will climb the the final summit and just ride Raven down to the River trail back to the car, or just ride Rocky Ridge/NEMBA trail to Bobcat to the car. If you're lapping the Red Line/Saw Whet/Raven/Rocky Ridge section, it's quicker climbing up Green Line back to the summit from Red Line/Saw Whet, although this is the old beat-up rooty AF climbing trail and way more of a slog than the Up machine-built climbing trail.

However you do it, the final treat is riding back to the field and lapping Flow Creek once or several time. I must enjoy Flow Creek riding from above the trail entrance, by the sand pit, as there's a few sneaker jibs to do and you carry way more speed into Flow Creek. Enjoy
