Pedaling isn’t your thing but you love flowy downhills? A perfect thirty to sixty minute shuttle lap starting on Tucker Hill Rd, a convenient drop in point, and ending at Madbush Falls. Get a sample of what the valley has to offer as you bomb down Evolution and a new favorite, Goodnight Irene. You do have to pedal a few times though, this isn’t a gravity park A brief climb up Enchanted Forest takes you to the top of Evolution 2, which rolls and flows down to a major intersection with Evolution 1, Cyclone and Dana Hill Connector. Hit the connector to Dana Hill and then there’s a quick grind (sorry!) up and along Dana Hill to Upper Busternut. Make a left on Upper Busternut, which leads into Goodnight Irene, a sweeping, flowy descent right back to Madbush. This flowy downhill includes tons of berms, a few optional drops and a couple of optional logs and rock features hiding on the edges. You’ll flow all the way down across the “Butcher Block” bridge to Butternut Hill Rd. A flat, relaxing 2 minute dirt road pedal past a farm and across the Mad River takes you to Rt 100. Cross Rt 100 and look to your right (Bundy Rd) where you catch the quick singletrack descent back to Madbush Falls.
