This is my go-to route when I only have a few hours to ride. It starts out at the Lake Imaging lot, up through the familiar Jim Branch to a swift and rowdy descent down Locust. Jumps are possible and encouraged here Next are some gravel roads and a short trip through Pitch Pine that lead to the grueling gravel climb up Joanna Road. Stop at the top for a picture! Next is the descent that ends with Grassy Creek Trail, followed by a Sandy connection to another gravel climb. Hooker Creek, Hickory Mountain, and Ridgeline come together at the end of the route to put a huge smile on your face.
