Starting just a little further up the road from the 49er & Choker entrance. The first section descends through a beautiful forest, with a nice steep section before crossing the road. The middle bit is short and features a nice bridge over a creek followed a little later by an A frame. The final section is a nice piece of low-angle single track, with multiple bridges. It then joins up to Blindside to return you to the parking lot.

Access Info

Follow the May & Jenny Road. Continue past the 49er/Choker trail head for a couple of hundred meters to find the Bottom Feeder trail head
