Self preservation had me pushing the bike quite frequently. This trail kicked my butt. Lots of loose rock/gravel on the trail. Significant climb punctuated by drops into and through gulleys. Very hard to get into a flow.

      		 This really isn't Blue. I think because it has sections of Green, and sections of Black, people average out to Blue. But that's really not fair...
