CAUTION OF CACTUS
The Cactus Enduro Loop is a moderately challenging enduro style loop that incorporates two climbs and two downhills. This what I consider to be the best parts of the trails in this area. This is all dependent on how fast you ride. The faster you take it the more sketchy it becomes. Good times
If your new to your bike or are having any issues with staying on the trail around the corners in bad camber and loose surface type conditions; take it slow first go at it.
I highly recommend you take a “prerun” to get a scope of just how close the cactus is in many places. One simple mistake can be a hard lesson if your not careful. It just adds to the excitement.
Enjoy and cheers!
