Fast and flowy! Great for beginner to intermediate riders. No gaps or drops, but definitely plenty of places to jump! Sic trail!

Strava is telling me this is closer to 13 mile? Very fun, side hustle is a smooth fast slightly jumpy 2 miler. If that’s your jam you also end up with the classic Fathand/Iverson mile or so to exit!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
