      Trail was fun, rode it clockwise. I felt like counter clockwise would have been better as I passed a number of features/berms going up hill. Didn't see a single birch tree though.

      This trail is definitely designed to be ridden clockwise. The builders machine built a smooth, easy graded up track while the descent is a hand built single track trail with some fun hits. I often skip the first half by taking the bypass. You don't miss much going this way, just some cruisy flat single track.

      Gréât Trail to ride either way. Watch out as there wee 4 trees that had fallen when I rode yesterday. Bring your handsaw.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
