High Point
Avoid climbing the single track when Tiger is busy, expect of oncoming DH traffic when climbing Joy Ride, Preston and East Tiger Summit.
Climb up the singletrack, come down OTG and Predator. This is a nice way to get the most trail out of the ride while avoiding the road. It's of course much faster to climb on the roads but nowhere near as fun.
