If you want to skip the initial fire road climb from McCoy to the entrance, take Chair 16 (Friday-Saturday-Sunday 10am-4pm during peak season) and ride down the Burma Road (service road). It's called Follow Me Connector on the map.

In the beginning a lot of pedaling but then it gets fun. Connected to Boomerang so never completely did it

Classic intermediate trail. Tons of fun rock gardens, beautiful scenery etc. Extremely sandy in certain spots near the top but a fun challenge, lots of paver turns and a few braking bumps in deep kittle litter that can be fun, or throw you off your bike.
The beginning can be a bit of a bummer, a long climb on a service road, and there is a rock garden created by a waterfall that is tough to negotiate. If you can't make it, you will end up having to walk your bike through it and up the climb. Early season, there was about a foot of water coming down the waterfall and into the trail.
This is a great ride for many adventures: Connect to Flow, Seven Bridges, Ricochet, or Skid Marks via Lincoln Express. Or, ride to the bottom and continue onto Paper Route or Downtown, and the best part is you bypass the climbs on Downtown!
