This is a great introduction to "Mudbanks" section of Michaux near Woodrow Rd. This takes you on some very popular trails such as Lower B and Lower Happy Hour. The beginning of Community Confusion has a steep chute that can be avoided on Micro Cruise if you prefer. "B*tchin" is a gentle climber to the bottom of the ridge. From there take the ridge trail across but stay to your right (and more uphill) if you want to hit Lower B. The ride across to Lower Happy Hour can get a little technical in spots. The beginning of Lower HH has some larger rock rolls if you want but all are avoidable. Once you get into the lower part there is some faster sweeping singletrack through the pines. Finish with a short downhill section on The Feels or just take Snoopy back to the parking lot.
Alternate route would be to take Bumpin n Burning which is a faster downhill trail to Bump n Grind which will also take you back to the parking lot.
Trails are not marked in this region so be sure to take an offline map on Trailforks or other GPS map if its your first time.
