Bottom Bracket starts out with probably the fastest downhill at Barber Hills Tee it high and let it fly!! After the first section, it goes into a switchback area with several climbs.

In the middle of the trail lies the 45-foot skinny bridge across an area that holds water after it rains. The custom is to take a video of your riding buddies on their first trip across! The back side of the trail has several fast creek crossings with bridges to help keep your speed up. The last part of the trail has a long climb with a switchback the leads to the last flat section.
