Start at 4 way, the intersection of Saguaro and Upper Ridge. Ride Upper Ridge east and take a right onto Saddle. Take the unmarked left hand turn to Secret. Stop at the top of secret for the test. Point yourself downhill for some smooth rolling singletrack. Mind the occasional rock and the few short climbs. Don't miss the left to Saddle. Turn right onto Upper Ridge for a fast downhill section. Take left at 4 way for some rolling hills. The finish is at the junction with Hawes, under the tree.
