Good variety of technical, smooth singletrack & gravel climbing; some technical, some smooth/twisty and some swoopy/jumpy downhill; with an eye toward doing a standard route to try out new bikes.

This is a great route to get acquainted with Galbraith. The only issue is I wouldn't recommend riding back up Evo, just catch the road again.

Huh, I didn't realize it had done that. Apparently this is public and has gotten popular! I think it's fixed now.

Great loop for my first time to the area. Thanks!

For any that prefer trail climbing to fire road, follow three little pigs to huff and puff up to the top of Evo instead of the fire road. I think the fire road might actually be steeper.
