      Bobsled is kinda deteriorated, but IMO that makes it much more fun. It’s got a little rock drop or two and some bushes in the trail. I rode it on 8/31/23 and it was pretty washed out but still my favorite trail on all of peavine.

      Totally agree with Meesh23. Fun, fast and flowy trail. Definitely more blue than black.

      This trail is hot garbage. Off-camber poorly built "berms" between sand pits with just enough loose cobbles to break all your spokes and derailleurs. 0/10.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
