This loop begins with the fast and flowy Beginner loop but branches off for much more challenging terrain and obstacles. The Expert Loop is tighter, slower, and loaded with obstacles such as suspension bridge, elevated trail, gap jump, teeter totter, etc. The constant undulating terrain, tightness, and obstacles make this course feel like a longer ride than the actual mileage. Many of the man-made sections are challenging and completely one of a kind. The whole course is quite a challenge but very fun and rewarding.
Distance = 9.2 miles.
