This is my personal favorite route through Frick Park which minimizes the boring double track climbs back to the top. Start at Iron Gate and ride to Concrete Block (just after the wooden drop), ride Concrete Block until it exits to Firelane Ext. Ride Roller Coaster back to Firelane Ext. Climb up Firelane Ext and ride Roller Coaster to IMBA trail all the way up and out to Falls Ravine. Take Bench Trail up to Horse Trough. Ride Horse Trough until you exit to Riverview Trail. Turn left and enter Homeless Camp on the right and ride that back to Iron Gate. Rip Iron Gate to the bottom of the park.
You can hit 276, Dinky Bridge, and the slags now or you can climb back up Falls Ravine to ride Bradema.
