This route will take you to some of the rockiest and techy downhills in LSF such as Mammoth Brook (Crackpipe), No Dabs and Fudrucker. The route also includes some nice flow trails along the way. The route begins with a fire road warm-up on Rocky Pond road to take you over to the eastern side of the park. You'll hit the tech over there and then huff it back to the western side for some more fun. Be sure to spend some time at the bowl/dirt jumps at Paradise Pond (near the end of the ride).
A good deal of the ride is on fire roads so the distance isn't as bad as it sounds. If you want more distance as some of the loops like Hey Shorty and Chesnut (aka Lolipop) Loop or stay on Wolf Rock Road a little longer and add the southern leg of the Wolf Den Trail for more serious rock gardens.
