A fun and fast loop through a lower area of the park. Black can be found on the east side of the park, accessible from the Blue trail. Climbing is rewarded with fast riding, a couple of berms, and some of the few man-made jumps in Bay Park. Clockwise and counter-clockwise are both a blast, figure out which you enjoy more. Watch your derailleur on the rock gardens along the way

Perfect conditions in BPW and Tryon today. Trails still have some moisture from the last rain so excellent grip and no loose sandy spots yet.
