Thanks for the comment about riding the bottom loop in advance. Lots of features on The Shaft if you ride it in reverse (between the marked end and coop). Didn’t disappoint.

Do yourself a favor and ride the outer loop of this route in the other direction from this map. I found myself looking at the downhill side of a bunch of newish features. There is one series of features that the adventurous may want to briefly turn around for, but I think it would ride much better clockwise.

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
